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

Sea to Sea for PTSD is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mental health issues, particularly PTSD and post-traumatic stress injuries affecting public safety personnel, military, and veteran communities. The organization conducts public speaking engagements, merchandise sales, and fundraising walks across Canada to support mental health initiatives and education programs. The website is hosted on Google Sites and features bilingual content targeting a Canadian audience. While the site is professionally designed with good content quality and clear navigation, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, and no WHOIS data is publicly available, indicating privacy protection. The security posture is basic with no advanced headers or disclosures detected. Contact information is limited to phone numbers, and social media presence includes Facebook and Instagram.

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 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

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 organization operates in a niche non-profit sector focused on mental health awareness for public safety and military communities in Canada. Its business model relies on donations, merchandise sales, and public engagement through speaking events and walks. The target audience includes public safety personnel, veterans, their families, and the general public interested in mental health. The website's use of Google Sites suggests a small-scale operation with limited technical resources. The absence of detailed WHOIS data and privacy policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. The organization benefits from trust signals such as clear mission statements and social media presence but should enhance its digital maturity and privacy compliance to strengthen credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are important for protecting users against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security practices. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. While no explicit vulnerabilities or malware were detected, the security posture is basic and could be significantly improved by implementing recommended security headers, privacy policies, and a vulnerability disclosure program. Overall, the security maturity level is low to moderate, appropriate for a small non-profit but requiring attention to protect user data and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance website security.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency by publishing WHOIS registrant information or justifying privacy protection explicitly.
  5. Improve technical SEO and accessibility features to increase website reach and usability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Google Sites platform, leveraging Google Fonts and Google APIs for fonts and client-side functionality. The technical implementation is basic but functional, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site lacks advanced frameworks or CMS beyond Google Sites. SEO and accessibility are basic, with room for improvement in meta tags and ARIA attributes. No custom scripts or third-party libraries beyond Google services were detected. Hosting by Google ensures reliable uptime and basic security but limits customization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is suitable for a small non-profit but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security 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.
