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

The website 'Save bees and farmers' represents a European Citizens’ Initiative advocating for the reduction and eventual ban of synthetic pesticides in EU agriculture. It is a coalition of NGOs, grassroots movements, and scientific groups aiming to promote sustainable, bee-friendly farming practices. The initiative has garnered significant public support with over 1.1 million signatures and actively campaigns through petitions, informational content, and social media engagement. The site provides resources for citizens to contact policymakers and stay informed about legislative developments. Technically, the website is built on ww.edit CMS 4.7, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. It integrates third-party widgets for campaign actions and uses modernizr for feature detection. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility considerations, though some improvements could be made. Analytics and marketing tracking are implemented via Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Twitter tags, with a clear cookie consent mechanism in place. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs secure form handling with required fields. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. WHOIS data is not publicly available due to EURid privacy restrictions, but the domain appears legitimate and consistent with the non-profit advocacy mission. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy platform for environmental advocacy with good content quality and user experience. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining up-to-date libraries to strengthen security posture 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.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

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 initiative positions itself as a key player in the European environmental advocacy space, focusing on pesticide reduction and sustainable agriculture. Its competitive advantage lies in its broad coalition of reputable NGOs and scientific associations, strong public support, and active engagement with EU policymakers. The business model is non-profit and advocacy-driven, relying on public donations, volunteer support, and partnerships. The target audience includes environmentally conscious citizens, farmers, policymakers, and NGOs. Growth indicators include recent campaign milestones and legislative engagement. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving multiple European organizations. Operationally, the initiative leverages digital tools for outreach and mobilization, with a focus on transparency and public involvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and secure form inputs. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policy indicates compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No direct contact for security incidents or vulnerability disclosure is provided, which could hinder incident response. The use of third-party tracking scripts is balanced with privacy considerations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit advocacy site but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update JavaScript libraries and dependencies to avoid known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Maintain clear and accessible contact channels for security and privacy concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature CMS platform (ww.edit CMS 4.7) with a technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and Modernizr. It integrates a third-party widget (Proca) for campaign actions and uses standard analytics tools. The site is mobile-responsive and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with some inline scripts and external dependencies. The codebase shows good separation of concerns with CSS and JS assets properly linked. There is potential technical debt in the use of older jQuery versions and lack of modern frameworks. Hosting details are not explicit, but HTTPS is enforced. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's advocacy goals effectively with opportunities for modernization and optimization.
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.
