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

NOW Grenada is an online news media platform providing comprehensive coverage of Grenada's politics, business, sports, culture, health, and lifestyle. Established in 2013, it serves as a key information source for the Grenadian public and diaspora, leveraging digital channels and advertising to sustain its operations. The website is positioned as a local media outlet with a focus on community engagement and timely news dissemination. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript libraries, Google Fonts, and integrations with Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for tracking and social media engagement. Hosting and DNS services are managed via Cloudflare and Dynadot, ensuring reliable performance and security. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and employs domain transfer protections. However, it lacks DNSSEC and does not publish explicit security policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Cookie consent is implemented, but privacy policy and terms of service pages are absent, indicating gaps in compliance and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or WAF blocking were detected. Overall, NOW Grenada presents a moderately mature digital presence with solid business credibility and technical infrastructure. To enhance trust and security posture, it should publish comprehensive privacy and security policies, enable DNSSEC, and consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy. These steps will improve compliance, user trust, and resilience against emerging threats.

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. 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. 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 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

NOW Grenada operates as a small-sized media entity focused on Grenadian news and information. Its business model revolves around content publishing and advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with local and regional organizations. The platform targets a general audience interested in Grenada's socio-political and cultural landscape. Competitive advantages include localized content, active social media presence, and integration of modern digital marketing tools. Growth indicators include consistent content updates and engagement with community events. The partnership ecosystem includes event organizers and tourism bodies, enhancing content relevance and advertising opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enforcement and domain transfer lock status. The absence of DNSSEC and security.txt file indicates room for improvement in DNS security and vulnerability management transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided data. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, but privacy policy and incident response contacts are missing, which are critical for GDPR and general data protection compliance. The security posture is adequate for a media website but should be enhanced with formal policies and technical controls to mitigate risks and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user transparency.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security against spoofing and cache poisoning.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  4. Add Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure performance.

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.
