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

The U.S. Department of the Treasury website serves as an official government portal providing comprehensive information and services related to reporting fraud, waste, and abuse. It targets a broad audience including the general public, businesses, government entities, and financial institutions. The site offers key services such as scam reporting, government contracting fraud reporting, and access to inspector general hotlines. The website is well-branded with consistent U.S. government identity and trust signals, reinforcing its authoritative position. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 and leverages modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and the USA Web Design System. It is hosted likely on government infrastructure or via Akamai CDN, ensuring fast performance, excellent mobile optimization, and strong accessibility compliance. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforced and standard security best practices observed, though explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms could be improved. The WHOIS data is incomplete but consistent with government domain registration policies, and the .gov TLD strongly supports legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with government standards, though privacy compliance could be enhanced with visible cookie consent and clearer contact information.

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

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

Business context

Business profile

The website represents a key federal government entity responsible for financial and regulatory oversight. Its market position is unique as the official treasury department portal, providing essential public services and regulatory information. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service and compliance enforcement. Revenue streams are not applicable, but the site supports government transparency and fraud prevention efforts. The target customer segments include citizens, businesses, financial institutions, and government agencies. The site integrates with a broad partner ecosystem of bureaus and inspector general offices, enhancing its operational reach and service delivery.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is high, with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. The use of Drupal CMS provides built-in security features such as CSRF protection on forms. However, the absence of explicit security headers in the visible HTML and lack of a cookie consent mechanism indicate areas for improvement. There is no public security policy or incident response information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR is limited, likely due to the U.S. government context. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for its public service role.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including official emails and phone numbers for public inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update WHOIS information to ensure transparency and domain registration accuracy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform, utilizing Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. It employs the USA Web Design System for consistent government branding and accessibility. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CDN usage. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Technical debt appears low with clean HTML structure and well-organized navigation. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and privacy mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust, scalable, and user-friendly government website.
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.
