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

Parkinson Canada is a well-established Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to empowering people living with Parkinson’s disease and their care partners. The organization provides a wide range of services including advocacy, education, support groups, fundraising, and research funding. The website reflects a strong market position as a leading Parkinson’s support entity in Canada, with clear messaging, comprehensive resources, and active community engagement. The target audience includes patients, caregivers, researchers, donors, and volunteers across Canada. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Font Awesome, Google Maps API, and tracking tools such as Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and SEO. It uses multilingual support for English and French, enhancing accessibility for Canadian users. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure external donation processing. However, explicit security headers are not visibly implemented, and no cookie consent mechanism was detected, which could be improved to enhance privacy compliance. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which is common for Canadian domains but slightly reduces trust verification. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency. The overall risk assessment is low, with the website demonstrating professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with key privacy policies. Strategic recommendations include implementing cookie consent, adding security headers, publishing incident response information, and improving WHOIS transparency where possible.

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 with a focus on Parkinson’s disease. Its business model revolves around community support, education, advocacy, fundraising, and research funding. The organization leverages multiple revenue streams including donations, fundraising events, and grants. It maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including a dedicated donation processing domain. The website’s content and structure indicate a mature organization with a clear growth trajectory and strong community engagement. The presence of multilingual content and extensive resources positions it well within the Canadian healthcare support market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and secure external donation processing. The absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are notable gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Tracking technologies are used responsibly with asynchronous loading. The lack of incident response or vulnerability disclosure information suggests room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
  2. Add explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response plan or security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider creating and hosting a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Improve WHOIS data transparency if possible to enhance domain trustworthiness.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with a robust tech stack including jQuery, Font Awesome, Google Maps API, and multilingual support via WPML. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. SEO is well-implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility features are present, and the site is mobile-optimized. The use of external domains for donation processing and analytics is well segregated. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for modernization including enhanced security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
