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

The Repair Association is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to fighting for consumers' right to repair their digital products. Positioned as a leading coalition in the right to repair movement, the organization targets consumers, advocates, and policymakers interested in digital product repair rights. Their business model revolves around advocacy, membership, donations, and information dissemination, primarily operating within the United States. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Mailchimp, and HubSpot for marketing and analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, has good SEO practices, and maintains a moderate performance profile. The presence of SSL and HSTS indicates a strong commitment to secure communications. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with HSTS and employs secure forms with CAPTCHA to prevent abuse. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for non-profits, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Privacy compliance is basic but includes a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response information, and improving privacy compliance transparency.

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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The Repair Association occupies a niche advocacy role within the digital rights and repair ecosystem. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused mission and coalition-building efforts. Revenue streams are primarily from donations and memberships. The target customer segments include consumers, repair professionals, and policy advocates. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing campaigns. The partnership ecosystem includes related advocacy groups and service providers like Printful for merchandise fulfillment. Operationally, the organization maintains a lean digital infrastructure suitable for a small non-profit. Strategically, the organization could benefit from expanding transparency around security and privacy practices to build further trust with stakeholders.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for a small non-profit, with enforced HTTPS, HSTS, and secure form handling. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy considerations, including cookie consent. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response plans represent gaps. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which could limit coordinated vulnerability reporting. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but not comprehensive. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other recommended security headers to mitigate XSS and related attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security collaboration.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights more explicitly.
  5. Regularly audit third-party integrations to ensure no vulnerable libraries or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reputable platform providing managed hosting and CMS capabilities. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and integrations for analytics and marketing automation. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility is basic but functional. The site uses standard meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement progressive web app features for enhanced user 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.
