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

7 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 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

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

Parkinson Canada operates in the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on Parkinson’s disease support and research in Canada. The organization leverages multiple revenue streams including community fundraising, personal giving, and events. Its target customers include patients, care partners, researchers, donors, and volunteers. The website’s extensive content and service offerings indicate a mature organization with a strong partnership ecosystem, including dedicated donation processing domains. The presence of multilingual support and comprehensive resources suggests a commitment to accessibility and inclusivity. Growth indicators include active fundraising campaigns and community engagement through events and social media. The organization’s competitive advantage lies in its national reach, specialized focus, and integrated support and research programs. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining digital security and privacy to protect donor and patient data, as well as continuing to expand digital engagement channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. Use of reputable WordPress plugins and external donation processing reduces risk. Tracking pixels and analytics are implemented with privacy considerations. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly configured, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected. Incident response and security policy pages are not found, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but should adopt additional best practices to strengthen defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce explicit security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Enhance visibility of security and privacy policies, including incident response procedures.
  5. Maintain and monitor third-party tracking and marketing tools to ensure ongoing privacy compliance.

The site uses external domains for donation processing and content delivery networks for performance optimization. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well implemented, providing a good user experience across devices.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
