The Renewal Programme is a well-established non-profit organization serving the Newham community in the UK for over 50 years. It offers a broad range of community services including food support, health and wellbeing activities, employability programs, and support for refugees and migrants. The organization maintains a strong local presence and is recognized with the Trusted Charity Standard Level 1 certification, reinforcing its credibility and trustworthiness. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and comprehensive content tailored to its community audience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, ensuring good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers could be improved.

Overall, the website and organization demonstrate a high level of professionalism and community focus.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
  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 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The Renewal Programme operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity focused on community empowerment in Newham, UK. Its business model revolves around providing social services and community support, funded likely through donations and grants, with an online presence that facilitates engagement and fundraising. The organization leverages partnerships such as Raisely for donation processing and maintains active social media channels to enhance outreach. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with SEO and accessibility considerations. The charity's long history and certification provide competitive advantages in trust and community impact. Growth indicators include expanded services like the RenewALL Hub and active community events. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on digital engagement and transparency to strengthen donor and community trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. The use of reputable plugins and modern frameworks reduces the risk of vulnerabilities, though no explicit security headers were detected in the source, which is a potential area for improvement. There is no evidence of incident response or security policy documentation publicly available, which could enhance the organization's security maturity. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, indicating awareness of GDPR requirements. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit website but could benefit from enhanced security headers and documented incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Verify and resolve the domain WHOIS registration issue to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 7.0 with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3.7.1, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin, and social media integration is robust. The site uses external CDNs for fonts and scripts, improving load times. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features such as screen reader text and skip links are implemented, indicating good inclusivity practices. The presence of multiple plugins for social feeds and translation suggests a focus on community engagement and multilingual support. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party plugins which require regular maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. Hosting provider details are not explicit, limiting infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively with opportunities for performance and security enhancements.
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.
