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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

The company positions itself in the ethical consumerism segment, leveraging browser extensions to influence purchasing decisions. Its business model appears non-profit or socially driven, with revenue likely from donations or grants rather than direct sales. The presence in reputable press outlets enhances credibility and market positioning. The target audience is progressive consumers interested in social justice, environmental issues, and corporate transparency. The company maintains active social media channels to engage its community. The lack of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a lean operational model focused on digital engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses domain status flags to prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, it lacks security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. Tracking scripts are present without a cookie consent mechanism, posing potential privacy compliance risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Provide explicit company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Gutenberg blocks and React components, indicating a contemporary and modular front-end architecture. Hosting by Pressable suggests reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Tracking and marketing tools are integrated but lack user consent mechanisms. No critical technical vulnerabilities were detected, but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC are notable gaps. Overall, the technical setup supports the business goals but can be enhanced for security and privacy compliance.
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.
