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

One Tree Planted is a well-established 501(c)(3) nonprofit environmental organization focused on global tree planting initiatives. Founded in 2014 and operating primarily in the US, it has built a strong market position with recognized awards and a broad international presence. The organization targets environmentally conscious individuals, corporate partners, and educators, offering services such as tree planting projects, corporate sustainability programs, philanthropic giving, and educational outreach. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and clear navigation. Technically, the website is built on the Shopify platform using the Turbo theme, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools including Klaviyo, Recharge Payments, Microsoft Clarity, and various social media pixels. Hosting is via Shopify's CDN, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. The site employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and uses client-side consent mechanisms for privacy compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are missing, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement, privacy banners, and CAPTCHA on forms, but lacks a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The domain registration is privacy protected but consistent with the nonprofit's US location and history, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a strong trust foundation. Strategically, the organization should consider enabling DNSSEC, adding comprehensive security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contacts, and possibly a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and security posture further.

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. 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

  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

One Tree Planted occupies a niche in the environmental nonprofit sector with a clear focus on reforestation and sustainability. Its business model relies on donations, corporate partnerships, and philanthropic programs. The organization leverages e-commerce capabilities via Shopify to facilitate donations and sales related to tree planting funds. The presence of multiple social media channels and marketing integrations indicates a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at broad audience engagement. The company shows growth potential through diversified funding streams and educational outreach. Partnerships with payment processors and marketing platforms support operational efficiency. The nonprofit's transparent contact information and awards contribute to its competitive advantage and market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and SSL certificates properly configured. Security headers are partially implemented, and privacy compliance is actively managed through cookie banners and consent mechanisms. The use of CAPTCHA on forms reduces automated abuse risks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are gaps that could be exploited. No incident response or security policy is publicly available, which could delay response to security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust e-commerce platform (Shopify) using the Turbo theme, which supports modern web standards and responsive design. It integrates multiple third-party services for marketing, analytics, payments, and customer engagement, indicating a well-rounded technical infrastructure. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of external scripts and integrations. Accessibility and SEO are well addressed with proper meta tags, structured data, and mobile optimization. The site uses asynchronous script loading to improve load times. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to mitigate risks.
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.
