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

4 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 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

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

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

Extinction Rebellion holds a strong market position as a leading global grassroots environmental movement. Their business model is non-profit and volunteer-driven, relying on donations and public engagement. The website's multilingual support and extensive social media presence indicate a broad target audience and effective outreach strategy. The organization publishes annual and financial reports, enhancing transparency and trust. While no direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, the presence of official social channels and event platforms supports community engagement. The lack of detailed WHOIS data is typical for activist groups and does not detract from legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of captcha for form submissions, reducing automated abuse risks. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder coordinated security improvements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy compliance is good, supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and use of privacy-respecting analytics. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate security issue reporting and resolution.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for general and security inquiries to improve transparency and responsiveness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with ES modules, custom fonts, and Matomo analytics for privacy-focused tracking. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph and Twitter cards). Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility are excellent, with skip links and responsive design. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected from the HTML. The site could improve by adding more explicit technical security headers and a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
