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 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

The organization holds a strong market position as the sole hospice care provider in its region, with a clear focus on healthcare and non-profit sectors. Their revenue streams include donations, retail shops, and fundraising events, supported by a robust volunteer network. The website's integration with multiple online marketplaces (eBay, Etsy, Shopify) for retail sales indicates a diversified fundraising approach. Partnerships with regulatory bodies like the Fundraising Regulator and CQC enhance credibility. The business targets patients, carers, healthcare professionals, and community supporters, demonstrating a broad stakeholder engagement. Growth indicators include active event promotion and volunteer recruitment. The digital ecosystem is supported by professional web development partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not observed and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. The presence of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be improved to demonstrate transparency and readiness. Overall, the security risk is low but can be further mitigated by adopting recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance documentation.
  5. Maintain and improve accessibility features and privacy consent mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely MODX, utilizing modern front-end technologies such as Swiper.js for sliders, FontAwesome for icons, and Google Fonts/Typekit for typography. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics GA4, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, enabling detailed user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. Accessibility is enhanced by the EqualWeb widget and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially image loading as some images show lazy loading errors. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation structures. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
