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

Pulse Partnerships is a community platform operated by Tropical Health & Education Trust (THET), a UK-based non-profit organization focused on global health partnerships and education. The website serves as a hub for community engagement, providing news, events, and resources to healthcare professionals and global health stakeholders. The platform is built on the Hivebrite community engagement system and integrates modern web technologies such as React and Mapbox for interactive features. Hosting is provided via SiteGround, and the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. From a technical perspective, the website demonstrates moderate digital maturity with a modern tech stack and responsive design optimized for mobile devices. However, there are areas for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization. The site employs multiple analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Amplitude, Datadog, and Sentry, but lacks clear privacy and cookie policies, which may impact user trust and compliance with GDPR. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some security best practices observed, but the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response contacts indicates room for enhancement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which are recommended for transparency and security culture. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business information, showing consistent domain registration and no privacy protection, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy for its target audience but should prioritize privacy compliance and security policy publication to strengthen its security posture and user trust. Strategic improvements in these areas will enhance compliance and reduce risk exposure.

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.

Priority findings

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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: Google Analytics, Twitter

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

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Pulse Partnerships operates within the non-profit global health sector, leveraging community engagement to facilitate partnerships and knowledge sharing. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with THET, a recognized entity in tropical health education, and its use of a specialized community platform (Hivebrite). The business model focuses on membership and community building rather than direct commercial revenue. Target customers include healthcare professionals, NGOs, and global health stakeholders. Growth indicators include active event hosting and news dissemination. Partnerships with Hivebrite and use of multiple analytics tools indicate a strategic approach to digital engagement. The organization maintains a focused niche presence with consistent branding and professional content, supporting its market position as a trusted non-profit community platform.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or incident response policies suggests gaps in defense-in-depth and transparency. The use of Google reCAPTCHA v2 and Cloudflare Turnstile keys indicates some bot mitigation efforts. Absence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms and security.txt reduces the organization's ability to receive and respond to security reports effectively. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, while basic security controls are in place, the site would benefit from enhanced security policies, header implementation, and compliance documentation to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based stack integrated with Hivebrite, a specialized community engagement platform. It uses Mapbox for interactive mapping and multiple third-party services for analytics and error tracking, including Google Analytics, Amplitude, Datadog, and Sentry. Hosting is provided by SiteGround, as indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preconnect hints and asynchronous loading of scripts to improve load times. However, SEO optimization is basic, and no structured data (JSON-LD) was detected. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC represents technical debt and potential risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be enhanced with improved security configurations and SEO practices.
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.
