Security score

78/100

Risk levelLow

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

The Société canadienne de la SP is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by multiple sclerosis through services, advocacy, and research funding. The website is professionally designed, primarily in French, with a clear focus on community engagement, support programs, and fundraising activities. It serves a broad audience including patients, caregivers, researchers, and donors. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS, hosted on Linode, and incorporates modern web technologies and analytics tools. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or privacy policies are published on the site. The domain registration is privacy protected, which is justified for this type of organization, and the domain age aligns with the organization's recent founding. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional but could improve privacy compliance and security 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

5 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 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

    • High

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

SP Canada holds a strong position as a leading non-profit in the Canadian healthcare sector focused on multiple sclerosis. Its business model relies on donations, fundraising events, and research grants. The organization maintains partnerships with donation processing platforms and research initiatives, enhancing its ecosystem. The bilingual approach with a sister English site broadens its reach. The site content and navigation support donor engagement and community support effectively. Growth indicators include active event promotion and research participation facilitation. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency around privacy and security policies to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags preventing unauthorized transfers or updates. However, the absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to improve DNS security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The site uses multiple third-party tracking and advertising scripts, which may raise privacy concerns without a visible cookie consent mechanism or privacy policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and DNS security improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Review third-party scripts and tracking to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design and various analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel. Hosting is provided by Linode, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical links. The site uses multiple external domains for tracking and donation processing, which are well integrated. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and improving privacy compliance would enhance the technical maturity and security posture.
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.
