Risk levelLow

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

The School for Moral Ambition is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering moral ambition by helping individuals pursue careers with positive social impact. Their offerings include fellowships, community circles, and educational content such as articles, films, and podcasts. The organization is positioned as a niche leader in the social impact and moral ambition space, supported by media recognition from reputable outlets like The Guardian and Financial Times. Technically, the website is built on Webflow with modern technologies including Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics, ensuring good performance, mobile optimization, and privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its mission, though WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common and justified for non-profits.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 21 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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 organization targets ambitious idealists seeking meaningful careers and social impact. Its business model revolves around non-profit fellowship funding, community building, and donations. The website demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals, including media mentions and professional design. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via contact forms. The multi-language support and global community presence indicate a broad international reach. The organization leverages modern web technologies and privacy-focused analytics to maintain user trust and comply with GDPR.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and cookie consent with opt-in mechanisms, reflecting a good baseline security posture. However, no explicit security headers (such as CSP or HSTS) were detected in the HTML content, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics is managed with privacy considerations. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is a gap that could be addressed to improve transparency and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Plausible for privacy-focused analytics. Fonts are served via Adobe Typekit. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times. Cookie consent is managed with third-party scripts supporting opt-in mechanisms. Hosting appears to be Webflow's managed infrastructure, which typically offers good uptime and performance. The site uses Google Tag Manager for tag management, allowing flexible marketing and analytics integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern, performant, and privacy-conscious, with minor opportunities for enhanced security header implementation.
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.
