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

The ALS Canada Revolution Ride website serves as a professional and well-branded platform for promoting the 2025 fundraising cycling event organized by the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Society of Canada. The site effectively communicates the event's purpose, target audience, and key services including fundraising, community support, research funding, advocacy, and information dissemination. The organization behind the site is a reputable Canadian non-profit established in 1977, with a strong market position in ALS awareness and support. The website's content is relevant, well-structured, and visually appealing, targeting cyclists and supporters of ALS causes. From a technical perspective, the site employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, TinyMCE, Google reCAPTCHA, Facebook SDK, and Very Good Vault for secure data collection. Hosting appears to be on Rackspace infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and use of security tools, but lacks some security headers and publicly available security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is good with no detected vulnerabilities or WAF blocking. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for this non-profit event site. Trust indicators such as charity registration and certifications bolster credibility. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, providing clear contact information for security and privacy matters, and enhancing accessibility compliance to improve overall trust and compliance posture.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

    • 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.

Technical appendix

Business context

Business profile

ALS Canada Revolution Ride operates as a non-profit fundraising event with a clear focus on ALS awareness, research funding, and community support. Its competitive advantage lies in its established reputation, volunteer-powered model, and strong community engagement. Revenue streams primarily come from participant fundraising and general donations. The target customer segments include cyclists of various skill levels and supporters of ALS causes across Canada. Growth indicators include the event's recurring annual nature and increasing fundraising goals. The partnership ecosystem includes the ALS Society of Canada and related ALS organizations. The website reflects a mature operation with professional branding and digital presence, supporting the organization's mission and fundraising goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and integration of Very Good Vault for secure data collection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, which could hinder timely security issue reporting and resolution. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which may expose the organization to regulatory risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced transparency and policy publication to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with clear contact channels.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards (e.g., WCAG 2.1).
  5. Provide explicit contact information for security, privacy, and general inquiries to improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of well-known JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and TinyMCE, along with Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and Facebook SDK for social integration. The use of Very Good Vault indicates attention to secure data handling. Hosting assets on Rackspace CDN ensures reliable content delivery. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is solid but could be improved with enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
