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

Rancho Los Alamitos is a non-profit historic site and gardens located in Long Beach, California, dedicated to educating and engaging the public about California's rich history. The organization offers free public access to its historic ranch house and gardens, along with educational programs, events, and volunteer opportunities. The website reflects a community-focused mission with clear calls to action for visits, donations, memberships, and volunteering. Technically, the site is built on the EditMySite platform (a Weebly reseller), leveraging common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics, and EqualWeb for accessibility compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with consistent branding and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, indicating privacy protection, which is typical for non-profit organizations. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and serves its community-oriented purpose effectively.

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

8 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 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

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 positions itself as a local cultural and educational non-profit with a focus on historic preservation and community engagement. Its revenue streams likely include donations, memberships, event ticket sales, and gift planning. The website integrates with trusted third-party platforms for donations and event management, indicating a mature partnership ecosystem. The target audience includes families, history enthusiasts, educators, and local community members. The presence of accessibility tools and social media channels supports outreach and inclusivity. The lack of detailed business registration or certification information on the site is typical for small non-profits but could be enhanced for transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. Accessibility compliance is addressed via EqualWeb. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which is a gap in security culture and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing business registration or certification details if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the EditMySite platform, a Weebly reseller, which provides a stable and scalable infrastructure. The tech stack includes jQuery, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and EqualWeb for accessibility. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts and integrates multiple external services for donations, event ticketing, and email marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic SEO optimization. The site uses modern HTTPS protocols but lacks advanced security headers. The technical implementation supports the business goals but could be improved with enhanced security and privacy 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.
