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

NPower is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating pathways to economic prosperity by launching digital careers for military veterans and young adults from underserved communities. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging WordPress with Elementor and JupiterX theme, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar. The organization appears to have a strong market position in the non-profit sector focused on workforce development and digital skills training. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and secure external link handling, but lacks some security headers and publicly available security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies in the provided content. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, though improvements in transparency and security documentation are recommended.

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

8 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 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

NPower operates as a large non-profit entity targeting veterans and underserved youth for digital career training. Its business model centers on workforce development and social impact. The website's use of structured data and SEO optimization indicates a mature digital strategy. The extensive use of third-party marketing and analytics tools suggests active engagement in outreach and fundraising efforts. Lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may limit user trust and compliance. No suspicious domains or partners were identified. The organization benefits from a consistent brand and clear mission, positioning it well within the non-profit education and workforce sector.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses secure link attributes to protect users from malicious redirects. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-XSS-Protection were detected, which are recommended to enhance security. There is no evidence of a published vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contacts and security policies are not publicly available, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. The use of multiple third-party scripts increases the attack surface and necessitates regular security audits. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved with better header implementation and policy publication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking pixels for security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Elementor page builder and JupiterX theme, indicating a modern and flexible technical infrastructure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, TikTok Pixel, Facebook Pixel, Reddit Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Hotjar, reflecting a sophisticated approach to user engagement and data collection. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. No hosting provider information was identified from the content. The site uses extensive font icon libraries (FontAwesome) and web fonts (Typekit). Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of some security headers. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but has room for security and accessibility improvements.
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.
