Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

68/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Mandai Nature is a Singapore-based conservation organization focused on protecting threatened species, restoring ecosystems, and supporting communities in Southeast Asia. Established in 2020 as the conservation arm of Mandai Wildlife Group and funded by Temasek, it operates as a non-profit entity delivering impact through catalyzing conservation programs, building capacity, and convening partnerships. The website is professionally designed using Adobe Experience Manager, with modern technologies and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but could be improved by adding explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, though cookie policy and incident response information are lacking. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness, but the website content and external references support legitimacy. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility, with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

6 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Mandai Nature occupies a trusted position in the Asian conservation sector, leveraging partnerships with global bodies like IUCN and funding from Temasek. Its business model centers on catalyzing and supporting conservation efforts rather than direct commercial activities. The organization targets conservation partners, researchers, local communities, and donors. The website reflects a strong brand identity consistent with its mission. The use of enterprise CMS and analytics tools indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly to manage inquiries through specific channels. The partnership ecosystem includes Mandai Wildlife Group and international conservation organizations, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern web technologies, reducing risks of data interception. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to clickjacking or content injection attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Lack of a published incident response policy or security contact reduces transparency in handling security incidents. The site uses Adobe's tag management and analytics scripts, which are industry standard but require proper configuration to avoid privacy issues. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response and security policy page with clear contact channels for reporting security issues.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security flaws.
  5. Improve accessibility features to enhance usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager, a robust enterprise CMS, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. It uses asynchronous loading for Adobe tag management and Vimeo video integration, optimizing performance. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and SEO meta tags. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content. Accessibility is basic, suggesting room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. No broken links or errors were detected. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the organization's needs, but security header implementation and cookie management require enhancement.
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.
