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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

NBCF operates in the non-profit healthcare sector focusing on breast cancer awareness and support. Their business model revolves around education, early detection programs, community support, and fundraising through donations. The organization targets a broad audience including patients, survivors, caregivers, and donors. Their partnership ecosystem includes donation processing services and marketing analytics providers. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with strong branding consistency and trust signals. Growth indicators include active fundraising campaigns and educational outreach. Strategic observations suggest continued emphasis on transparency and community engagement to maintain donor trust and expand impact.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and use of CAPTCHA to protect forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data retention and protection officer information are missing. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and providing clear channels for security incident reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins for security risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and appointing a Data Protection Officer.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Fundraise Up for donations. Performance optimizations include WP Rocket caching and lazy loading scripts. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data markup. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical infrastructure supports a fast and reliable user experience with minimal technical debt observed. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security transparency.
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.
