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

The International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) operates the website reiki.org, a well-established platform dedicated to Reiki education, training, and community engagement. The organization offers a variety of services including online and in-person Reiki classes, licensed Reiki master teacher programs, a membership association, and a subscription-based Reiki News Magazine. The website targets individuals interested in Reiki healing, practitioners, and students, positioning itself as a leading resource in the Reiki community since 1995. The business model combines educational services with e-commerce offerings for related products and training materials. Technically, the website is built on the Drupal CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Google Analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. Accessibility features are basic but present. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and employs standard tracking tools with IP anonymization. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a formal incident response or vulnerability disclosure page, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, with clear contact information and a consistent brand presence. The absence of WHOIS data due to privacy protection does not detract from its legitimacy, given the organization's long-standing history and transparent operations. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent mechanisms, and incident response disclosures would further strengthen the site's security and compliance stance.

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. 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

ICRT holds a strong market position as a reputable provider of Reiki education and resources, leveraging a membership association and licensed teacher programs to generate revenue. Its target audience includes Reiki practitioners, students, and wellness enthusiasts globally. The organization benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem, including related Reiki centers and international affiliates. The website's content and services reflect a mature business model focused on education and community building rather than commercial retail. Growth indicators include a high daily visitor count and extensive content offerings. The partnership with Maui Reiki Center and Reiki India expands its reach and credibility within the Reiki community.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager and Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, indicating privacy awareness. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy represent gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected in the content or scripts. The site would benefit from implementing security.txt and enhancing cookie consent mechanisms to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for its business type but has room for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response contact page or security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for users with disabilities and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal CMS, leveraging a combination of custom and contributed modules for functionality. It uses jQuery and Flexslider for UI components and integrates Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs, indicating a hybrid hosting and asset delivery approach. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in asset loading and caching strategies. The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure. Technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
