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
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The foundation positions itself as a key player in the non-profit sector with a clear mission and measurable impact goals. Its business model revolves around funding and supporting projects that align with its vision of transforming lives. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency, partnership, and community engagement. The foundation's partnerships with technology and design firms like Digital Planning indicate a commitment to maintaining a modern and effective online presence. The absence of phone contact suggests a preference for email and digital communication channels. The foundation's market position is strengthened by its UK charity registration and global project reach.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, uses cookie consent tools compliant with GDPR, and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which is a gap in security transparency. The use of popular WordPress plugins and frameworks necessitates regular updates to mitigate potential vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and documented policies.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to reduce vulnerability risks.
Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
Consider adding phone contact options or live chat for improved user engagement and support.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, supported by several plugins including Instagram Feed, SearchWP Live Ajax Search, and GDPR Cookie Consent tools. It uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading and animation effects. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some improvements in security headers and accessibility could be made to reduce technical debt and enhance robustness.
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.
