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

The Quimby Family Foundation is a small non-profit organization focused on fostering stronger relationships between people and nature through movement and nourishment. It primarily awards grants to Maine-based nonprofits advancing human wholeness, with two main focus areas: Movement and Nourishment. The website is professionally designed on the Squarespace platform, featuring clear navigation and relevant content about grant opportunities, featured grantees, and organizational mission. The foundation targets community organizations and nonprofits in Maine, positioning itself as a regional philanthropic entity. Technically, the website leverages Squarespace CMS, uses HTTPS with HSTS enabled, and includes modern web fonts and jQuery for interactivity. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. The site lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. No analytics or tracking services beyond platform defaults were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site has a solid SSL configuration and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy, cookie, and incident response policies indicates compliance gaps. The WHOIS data is privacy protected with no public registrant details, which is typical for small non-profits and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, the site appears legitimate and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, adding security headers, publishing an incident response policy, and improving accessibility compliance. These steps will strengthen the foundation's digital trust and regulatory compliance posture.

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 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 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

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 foundation operates in the non-profit sector with a clear mission to support Maine-based nonprofits focused on human and environmental health. Its grantmaking model targets two thematic areas, providing structured grant periods and application processes. The organization maintains a modest digital footprint with a focus on community engagement rather than commercial activities. The lack of phone contact and physical address suggests a lean operational model. Social media presence on Instagram and Facebook supports community outreach. The foundation's market position is regional and specialized, with no apparent commercial subsidiaries or partnerships. The website content and structure reflect a focused and mission-driven approach, suitable for its target audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. No critical security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance risk, especially under GDPR and similar regulations. No incident response or security contact information is published, limiting transparency in case of security events. The site uses standard third-party scripts from trusted sources with no signs of vulnerable libraries. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but can be improved by adopting best practices in security headers and privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide security contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its CDN and standard scripts including jQuery and Typekit fonts. The HTML structure is valid and includes appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Performance is moderate with optimized images and responsive design. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. No advanced frameworks beyond Squarespace's built-in tools are detected. The site does not use external analytics or tracking beyond platform defaults, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Hosting and infrastructure are managed by Squarespace, providing reliable uptime and security features.
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.
