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

Ostéoporose Canada is a well-established Canadian national charitable organization dedicated to serving individuals affected by or at risk of osteoporosis. The organization focuses on education, support, advocacy, and fundraising to reduce risks and improve treatment outcomes. The website is professionally designed, primarily in French, targeting both patients and healthcare professionals. It provides comprehensive resources including information on the disease, nutrition, exercise, and upcoming events. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like UIkit and integrates standard analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and domain locks in place, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is partial, with a comprehensive privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the domain registration is trustworthy, with privacy protection justified for a non-profit entity. The site is accessible, well-structured, and trustworthy, making it a reliable resource for its 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

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 charity in Canada focused on osteoporosis. Its business model revolves around non-profit activities including education, advocacy, and fundraising. The website supports multiple user segments including patients, healthcare professionals, and donors. The presence of multiple related domains and donation subdomains indicates a mature partnership and fundraising ecosystem. The content quality and branding consistency reinforce its credibility and trustworthiness. Growth indicators include active social media channels and regular updates on events and news. Strategic partnerships are evident with related domains and content sharing between French and English sites.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status locks preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder transparency and readiness in case of security incidents. The use of third-party analytics and tracking scripts introduces potential privacy concerns, especially without a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Yootheme Osteo theme and uses the UIkit framework for UI components. It leverages jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for accessibility with good SEO practices including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting appears to be managed via Go Daddy Domains Canada, Inc. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site uses modern web standards but lacks some security enhancements such as DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the organization's digital presence effectively.
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.
