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

Open Wing Alliance is a medium-sized non-profit coalition initiated by The Humane League, focused on ending the abuse of chickens worldwide by promoting cage-free policies and improving animal welfare. The organization collaborates with over 90 member groups globally, providing campaign resources and grants to support their mission. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear messaging and a user-friendly interface. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and AWS S3 resources, and incorporates Google Tag Manager and Osano for analytics and consent management. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain protections in place, though there is room for improvement in implementing security headers and incident response disclosures. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is trustworthy, safe, and well-positioned to serve its advocacy audience.

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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

  3. 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 Open Wing Alliance operates as a non-profit advocacy network with a clear market position as a leading global coalition for chicken welfare. Its business model centers on collaboration, resource sharing, and grant funding to member organizations. The parent organization, The Humane League, provides credibility and operational support. The website's external links and donation mechanisms indicate a well-integrated partnership ecosystem. The target audience includes animal welfare activists and organizations worldwide. Growth indicators include a broad membership base and active campaigns. The alliance's strategic focus on cage-free policies aligns with global animal welfare trends, positioning it competitively within the non-profit sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information suggests gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Osano requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate risks. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policies and cookie consent. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency in security incident handling. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could benefit from enhancements to align with industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily React and Next.js, which support server-side rendering and improved SEO. Hosting leverages Cloudflare DNS and AWS S3 for static resources, indicating a scalable and reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with preloading and prefetching optimizations observed. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses Osano for cookie consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and data collection. Technical risks include the lack of explicit security headers and potential dependency on third-party scripts.
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.
