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

Ostéoporose Canada is a well-established Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to serving individuals affected by or at risk of osteoporosis. The organization provides educational resources, support programs, and advocacy to improve bone health awareness and treatment. The website is professionally designed, bilingual, and targets a French-speaking Canadian audience with comprehensive content and clear navigation. Technically, the site uses WordPress CMS with modern frameworks like UIkit and integrates analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain locks in place, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial due to absence of cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain registration is legitimate and consistent with the organization's profile.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

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 holds a unique market position as the sole national registered charity in Canada focused on osteoporosis. Its business model relies on donations, memberships, and partnerships. The website reflects strong branding consistency and trust signals including charitable registration and strategic plans. The target audience includes patients, healthcare professionals, donors, and volunteers. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains for English and French content and donation processing. Growth indicators include active social media presence and regular content updates.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain status locks to protect domain integrity. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no published security or incident response policy, which could impact compliance and readiness. Third-party scripts for analytics and social media are present, requiring regular security audits. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Security score is moderate with recommendations to enhance DNS security, implement security headers, and publish incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with UIkit framework and uses jQuery for frontend interactions. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to image sizes and multiple third-party scripts. The domain is registered with Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc, with privacy protection enabled. The site uses canonical URLs and SEO plugins indicating good SEO practices. There is room for improvement in security headers and DNS security.
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.
