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

Race Against Dementia is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for innovative dementia research. The website presents a professional and well-structured platform targeting donors, researchers, and the general public interested in combating dementia. The organization leverages partnerships, including Formula 1, to enhance its visibility and impact. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or terms of service pages, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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 occupies a niche within the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on dementia research funding. Its competitive advantage lies in its association with high-profile ambassadors and Formula 1 partnerships, which help drive fundraising and awareness. The business model centers on donations, fundraising events, and partnerships. The target audience includes individuals affected by dementia, donors, researchers, and corporate partners. Growth indicators include active content updates and engagement tools. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers for analytics and marketing but no explicit business partners were identified in the content. Strategic observations suggest the organization could improve trust and compliance by publishing privacy and security policies and providing clear contact information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicate gaps in security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by cookie consent but lacks comprehensive privacy documentation. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with better transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service with clear links on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor and several Jet plugins for enhanced functionality. It integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a focus on user experience and data-driven decision making. Performance optimizations are evident with WP Rocket caching and lazy loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. However, the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, and no advanced security headers are present. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and clearer business information integration.
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.
