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

New Horizons is a small non-profit support agency and resource center based in Margate, England, focused on providing services for adults with learning disabilities. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix's Thunderbolt framework and standard JavaScript libraries including the Facebook SDK. The site presents basic content relevant to its mission but lacks comprehensive privacy and security documentation. The absence of WHOIS registration data and domain registration errors raise concerns about domain legitimacy, although the active website presence on a reputable hosting platform mitigates some risk. Security posture is limited with no detected security headers and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the site serves its target audience but requires improvements in privacy, security, and trust indicators to enhance credibility and compliance.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 27 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

  3. 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 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';…

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 operates in the non-profit sector, targeting adults with learning disabilities and their support networks. Its business model centers on providing support services and resources locally in Margate. The website's market position is modest, with limited digital maturity and basic online presence. The lack of detailed business information, certifications, or partnerships suggests a small-scale operation. The use of Wix indicates a cost-effective approach to web presence. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not evident from the website content. The organization would benefit from enhanced digital marketing, trust signals, and compliance documentation to strengthen its market position.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low to moderate. The website uses HTTPS (assumed from Wix hosting) but lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected, but the absence of privacy policy and incident response information indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. There is no evidence of a data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure program. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism, which is a positive privacy indicator. Overall, the security posture requires significant enhancement to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish an incident response plan and publish contact channels for security issues or abuse reports.
  4. Conduct a WHOIS domain registration review to resolve inconsistencies and improve domain legitimacy.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO optimization to improve user experience and reach.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform using the Thunderbolt framework, which provides a modern JavaScript and CSS infrastructure. The site loads multiple Wix-hosted scripts and uses Facebook SDK for social integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured data but lacks advanced optimization. No custom backend or advanced frameworks detected. The site relies heavily on Wix's hosting and content delivery network. Technical debt appears low but the site would benefit from improved security configurations and privacy documentation.
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.
