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

One Tree Planted is a well-established nonprofit environmental organization focused on global tree planting initiatives. Founded in 2014, it operates primarily through donations and corporate partnerships to restore habitats and promote sustainability. The website reflects a strong market position with clear messaging, comprehensive content, and a consistent brand image targeting environmentally conscious individuals and organizations. Technically, the website is built on the Shopify platform, leveraging modern web technologies and third-party integrations such as Klaviyo for marketing, Recharge for subscription payments, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, fast performance, and good SEO practices, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs domain locking mechanisms, and uses cookie consent banners to comply with privacy regulations. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and DNS security (e.g., enabling DNSSEC) would further strengthen its posture.

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

The organization occupies a niche in the environmental nonprofit sector with a clear focus on tree planting and habitat restoration. Its business model relies on donations, corporate sustainability programs, and educational outreach. The presence of multiple funds and targeted impact areas indicates diversified funding streams and engagement strategies. The company maintains active social media channels and partnerships with recognized service providers, supporting growth and outreach. The domain age and registration details align well with the organization's history, reinforcing legitimacy. Competitive advantages include a decade of impact, award recognition, and a user-friendly e-commerce platform facilitating donations and merchandise sales. The website's comprehensive navigation and content structure support user engagement and conversion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections preventing unauthorized changes. The use of reputable third-party services for payments and analytics reduces risk exposure. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a potential DNS security gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, enabling DNSSEC, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance 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.
