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

ProVeg International is a medium-sized international non-profit organization dedicated to promoting healthy and sustainable diets through plant-based foods. The organization collaborates with governments, NGOs, and stakeholders to advocate for action plans supporting plant-based diets. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and clear messaging targeted at governments and NGOs interested in sustainability and health. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Gravity Forms and Yoast SEO, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS. It employs a consent management platform (Usercentrics) for cookie compliance and integrates marketing tools like HubSpot and Facebook Pixel. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, though performance is moderate. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and domain registration protections. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some common security headers are not explicitly present. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional with a solid security posture for a non-profit. Strategic improvements in privacy policy transparency and enhanced security headers would further strengthen compliance and trust.

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

5 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ProVeg International positions itself as a leading non-profit advocate for plant-based diets globally. Its business model focuses on advocacy, education, and collaboration with public and private stakeholders. The organization targets governments, NGOs, and sustainability advocates, leveraging partnerships and social media to amplify its message. The domain age is recent but consistent with a new or rebranded entity. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is justified for a non-profit. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with ongoing marketing and outreach efforts via HubSpot and social media channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections preventing unauthorized changes. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers represents minor gaps. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found in the analyzed content. The use of a consent management platform indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of explicit security or incident response policies on the site suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit but could benefit from enhanced header policies and documented incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Document and publish incident response and security policies to demonstrate readiness and transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, and Gravity Forms. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and GoDaddy as registrar. SEO is optimized via Yoast SEO Premium. Cookie consent is managed by Usercentrics CMP. The site loads moderate performance scripts and styles, with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enable DNSSEC. The infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence suitable for the organization's advocacy mission.
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.
