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

Nevada 211 is a government-affiliated program under the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services dedicated to connecting Nevadans with essential health and human services. The website serves as a comprehensive resource hub offering information on a wide range of services including housing, healthcare, food assistance, mental health, protective services, and more. It targets residents of Nevada seeking support and information about available social services. The program holds a strong market position as the official 211 service for the state, providing trusted and centralized access to critical resources. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and integrates external services like TomTom Maps SDK and Google Analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a consistent branding approach. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes some security best practices such as a safety exit button. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the official program. Overall, Nevada 211 presents a trustworthy and professional online presence for a government service, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening to further protect users and improve trustworthiness.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Business profile

Nevada 211 operates as a government program providing essential health and human services information to residents of Nevada. Its business model is service-oriented, focusing on public welfare rather than revenue generation. The program leverages partnerships with various agencies and integrates multiple service categories to cover a broad spectrum of social needs. The website's integration with external platforms like iCarol for chat and agency lookup indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The presence of social media channels and downloadable apps suggests efforts to engage users across multiple platforms. Growth indicators include comprehensive resource listings and active content updates. The program's parent organization is the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, reinforcing its authoritative position in the sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of a safety exit button indicates awareness of user safety concerns. However, the lack of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security events. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also raises compliance concerns, particularly regarding GDPR and other data protection regulations. Regular updates and security audits are recommended to maintain and improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update WordPress core and plugins promptly to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with WPBakery Page Builder for layout management. It integrates third-party services such as TomTom Maps SDK for mapping, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, and Google Language Translator for multilingual support. The site uses FontAwesome for icons and includes social media integration. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but would benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
