0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The Canadian Lung Association is a well-established Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to lung health advocacy, education, and research funding. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content targeting Canadians affected by lung disease and the general public interested in lung health. The organization leverages modern web technologies including Drupal 10, Bootstrap, and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear navigation and rich educational resources. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, though improvements are recommended in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is not publicly available, likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for this type of non-profit entity. Overall, the website demonstrates high trustworthiness and professionalism.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The Canadian Lung Association holds a strong market position as a national health charity with 125 years of history. Its business model focuses on advocacy, research funding, and public education, supported by donations and partnerships such as HealthPartners. The organization targets patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and donors. The website's content quality and branding consistency reinforce its credibility. The presence of multiple social media channels and a mailing list indicates active engagement with its audience. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for contact via forms or specific pages, which is common for non-profits. The organization appears to maintain a secure and compliant digital environment, though some privacy compliance aspects could be enhanced.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with validation, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a published vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact, which are recommended best practices. The use of third-party services like Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp introduces tracking and data collection considerations, but no cookie consent mechanism was found, which may impact privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers, privacy controls, and transparency around security incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking and marketing tools.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to provide a clear channel for security researchers to report issues.
  4. Include explicit incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding verified company contact emails and phone numbers in a dedicated contact section to improve user trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It uses Font Awesome 6 for icons and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Mailchimp for email marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and external scripts. No critical technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
