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

9 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention reelabilities.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for reelabilities.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 leverages partnerships with platforms like AMC Plus and NYC Public Schools to expand its reach and impact. Its business model focuses on non-profit activities centered around film festivals, education, and advocacy. The domain age and registration details support the legitimacy and longevity of the organization. The website content and structure reflect a clear mission and consistent branding. Revenue streams likely include donations, sponsorships, and program fees. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of reputable hosting and DNS providers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a published vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact limits transparency. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with formal policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. Hosting is through DreamHost with Cloudflare DNS, providing reliable infrastructure. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are used for analytics and marketing, indicating moderate user tracking. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and SEO meta tags. Accessibility features appear to be implemented adequately. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The CMS appears custom or headless, supporting flexible content management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively.
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.
