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

The National Rifle Association (NRA) website serves as the digital presence for one of America's longest-standing civil rights organizations focused on the defense of the Second Amendment. The site targets gun owners, advocates, and members, providing information on membership, training, safety, and advocacy services. The organization holds a strong market position as a leading non-profit in its sector with a large membership base. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and AngularJS, integrates multiple analytics and advertising platforms including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and AdRoll, and uses Google Tag Manager for tag management. While the site is accessible and well-branded with good content quality and user experience, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. Security headers are not evident in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in security posture. Overall, the domain appears legitimate and privacy protected, which is typical for large non-profits. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and improving transparency around data protection.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

      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

The NRA operates as a large non-profit organization with a focus on civil rights and firearms advocacy. Its business model revolves around membership services, training programs, and political advocacy. The website's extensive use of tracking and advertising technologies indicates active engagement in marketing and member outreach. The organization targets a specific audience of gun rights supporters and civil rights advocates primarily in the United States. The lack of visible contact information and WHOIS transparency is consistent with privacy protection practices common in this sector. The NRA's market position is strong, with a well-established brand and a large membership base. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content provided.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and integrates multiple third-party analytics and advertising scripts, which increases the attack surface and requires robust security controls. However, no security headers were detected in the provided content, which is a gap in best practices. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries from the data given. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies suggests potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not found, indicating limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Conduct a security audit of third-party scripts and minimize tracking to reduce privacy risks and improve user trust.
  4. Establish and disclose incident response procedures and security policies to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information including security and data protection officer contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of jQuery, AngularJS, and Font Awesome for UI components and icons. It leverages Google Tag Manager extensively for managing analytics and marketing tags, including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads, and AdRoll for retargeting. The site uses modern web fonts loaded from Adobe Typekit. Performance appears moderate with multiple external scripts loaded asynchronously. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are well implemented. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was identified. Accessibility features are basic, with some AngularJS directives for hiding elements. The site could benefit from modernizing frameworks and improving 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.
