Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website at savethewaves.org is currently inaccessible, returning a 403 Forbidden error page that blocks access to any substantive content. This prevents any meaningful analysis of the business, services, or user engagement features. The domain is long-established, registered since 2001 with a reputable registrar, indicating a legitimate entity behind the domain. However, the lack of accessible content, absence of privacy or cookie policies, and no visible contact or security information significantly limit the ability to assess the organization's digital maturity or security posture. The technical infrastructure appears minimal with only Google Fonts and SVG graphics loaded, hosted on SiteGround. Security posture cannot be fully evaluated due to lack of data, but no DNSSEC is enabled and no security headers are detected. Overall, the site is currently non-functional for external users, representing a critical issue for trust and usability.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention savethewaves.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for savethewaves.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Due to the 403 Forbidden error blocking access, no business intelligence data such as market positioning, business model, or key services can be extracted from the website content. The domain age suggests a mature entity, but no public-facing information is available to analyze competitive advantages or customer segments. No partnerships or related domains are identified from the content. The lack of contact information and policies further limits insights into operational transparency or compliance.

Security posture

The security posture is weak based on available data. The site lacks visible security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled on the domain. The 403 Forbidden error indicates access restrictions, but no specific WAF vendor or security framework is identified. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits user behavior insights. Overall, the site requires significant improvements in security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve the 403 Forbidden error to restore website accessibility.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any underlying access control or configuration issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website currently serves only a 403 Forbidden error page with minimal HTML content and embedded SVG graphics. The technical stack is very basic, using Google Fonts and hosted on SiteGround. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. The site lacks SEO meta tags, structured data, or analytics integrations. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic due to the minimal content. The domain registration is stable and consistent, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Overall, the technical implementation is minimal and requires modernization and error resolution to support business operations.
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.
