Risk levelMedium

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

Protect Where We Play is a non-profit initiative launched in 2024 by Ocean Conservancy to engage sports, art, and music communities in ocean conservation efforts. The website serves as a platform to mobilize fans and partners through events, donations, and awareness campaigns. It leverages partnerships with sports teams and environmental organizations to amplify its mission. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and integrates modern web technologies and SEO best practices. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. The security posture is solid with HTTPS and transfer lock on the domain, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Privacy and cookie policies exist but are basic, and no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned for its niche audience.

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

3 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 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 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 initiative targets environmentally conscious sports and entertainment fans, leveraging the passion for these areas to drive ocean conservation. Its business model is donation and partnership-driven, focusing on awareness and community engagement rather than commercial sales. The presence of high-profile partners and athletes enhances credibility and reach. The domain age aligns with the initiative's recent launch, supporting legitimacy. The ecosystem includes donation processing subdomains and partner pages, indicating a structured approach to fundraising and collaboration.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protection enabled, which are strong security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS to spoofing attacks. No Content-Security-Policy or other advanced security headers were detected, which could improve protection against XSS and other attacks. No public security or incident response policies were found, which is a gap in transparency and preparedness. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and advertising pixels, increasing the attack surface and privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other security headers like X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking to improve privacy compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress stack with Divi theme and uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Flickity, and Swiper for UI components. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and CDN, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility basics. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and script management. No critical technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected.
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.
