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

Perspective Fund is a small non-profit organization dedicated to funding and supporting impact-driven storytelling projects, primarily documentary films and organizations that empower audiences to foster social and economic inclusion. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace CMS, featuring a modern tech stack including jQuery and Lottie Player, and is hosted on Squarespace's platform. The site is mobile optimized and provides clear navigation and relevant content for its target audience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though additional security headers and privacy policies are absent. Contact is primarily via a web form, with no direct emails or phone numbers listed. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for non-profits, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and professional image but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit contact information.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 occupies a niche position in the impact media funding sector, focusing on documentary films and social impact projects. Its business model revolves around grantmaking and support services for media creators and organizations. The website's content and structure indicate a clear mission and approach, targeting socially conscious filmmakers and audiences. The presence of a LinkedIn profile supports its professional outreach. The lack of direct contact details and privacy policies suggests room for growth in transparency and compliance. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the domain or website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and HSTS headers, reducing risks of man-in-the-middle attacks. However, the absence of additional security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options limits protection against clickjacking and content injection attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the scripts detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved with enhanced headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and communication.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Lottie animations. It uses CDN-hosted assets for fonts and images, contributing to moderate performance. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. However, SEO optimization is basic, and accessibility features are minimal. The lack of analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user tracking, aligning with privacy best practices. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for a small non-profit organization, though opportunities exist for performance and SEO enhancements.
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.
