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

Revitalise is a well-established UK national charity dedicated to providing respite grants and supported holidays for disabled adults and their family carers. With over 60 years of history, the organization has transitioned from operating its own respite centers to focusing on grant funding due to economic challenges. The website clearly communicates its mission, services, and target audience, maintaining a professional and accessible online presence. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Gravity Forms for data collection and employs Cloudflare for infrastructure support and CookieYes for cookie consent management, reflecting a modern and compliant digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses bot protection mechanisms like hCaptcha and Cloudflare Bot Management, and provides a cookie consent mechanism, though it lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong security posture with room for improvement in formal security documentation and headers. The domain registration is consistent with the charity's claims, showing a long-standing and legitimate presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and maintaining regular vulnerability assessments to sustain trust and compliance.

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
    • 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

  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';…

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

Business profile

Revitalise occupies a significant position in the UK non-profit sector focused on disability support. Its business model revolves around grant funding and support services rather than direct commercial activities. The charity targets disabled adults and carers, providing vital respite services that address a critical social need. Revenue streams likely include donations and fundraising, supported by a clear call to action on the website. The organization maintains active social media channels, enhancing community engagement and outreach. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as charity registration numbers. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies, suggesting an independent operational model. The charity's strategic focus on grant funding post-2024 indicates adaptability to economic conditions while maintaining service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and integration of bot mitigation tools like hCaptcha and Cloudflare Bot Management. Cookie consent is managed transparently via CookieYes, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The site uses reputable third-party services and maintains a clean security posture suitable for a non-profit organization handling personal data via forms. Enhancing formal security documentation and headers would improve the overall security maturity and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Develop and make publicly available a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to support incident detection and response.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress 7.0.1 CMS platform, utilizing Gravity Forms for interactive data collection and CookieYes for cookie consent management. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Easyspace Ltd, with Cloudflare providing CDN and bot management services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities. The technical stack is well-maintained and appropriate for a medium-sized non-profit organization, though improvements in security headers and formal policies would reduce technical risk and improve 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.
