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

Oxfam GB is a leading UK-based non-profit organization dedicated to fighting global poverty through humanitarian aid, advocacy, and community development. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content targeting donors, volunteers, and the general public interested in social justice and poverty alleviation. The organization is well-positioned in the charity sector with strong brand recognition and a global partner network. Technically, the website employs modern tracking and marketing technologies such as Google Tag Manager and Abtasty, alongside cookie consent management via OneTrust, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices and structured data enhancing search visibility. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and security headers, though it lacks explicit published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the content or scripts. The WHOIS data for the exact domain www.oxfam.org.uk is unavailable due to domain registration rules, but this does not detract from the legitimacy of the organization, which likely uses the main domain oxfam.org.uk. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, incident response information, and a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and trust.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

Oxfam GB operates as a large non-profit charity focused on global poverty and humanitarian aid. Its business model relies on donations, advocacy, and partnerships within the global Oxfam confederation. The organization targets a broad audience including donors, activists, and beneficiaries. The website's integration with partner domains such as oxfamamerica.org and oxfam.org.au reflects a strong partnership ecosystem. The digital presence supports fundraising and awareness campaigns, leveraging social media and marketing tools effectively. Growth indicators include active content updates and engagement features. The absence of direct revenue streams on the site aligns with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust SSL configuration, and multiple security headers. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms aligns with GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of third-party scripts like Abtasty and Google Tag Manager requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be improved by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Abtasty for marketing optimization, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The presence of Flockler embeds indicates use of social media content aggregation. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for mobile devices and accessibility. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by third-party scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not evident. Technical risks include dependency on multiple third-party services which require vigilant security management. Opportunities exist to improve performance and reduce technical debt by optimizing script loading and caching.
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.
