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

Saint Joseph's Hospice of London is a charitable non-profit organization dedicated to providing compassionate hospice care and bereavement support to individuals and families in London, Ontario, Canada. The organization emphasizes personalized care recognizing the unique needs of palliative patients and their families. Their market position is that of a local trusted hospice care provider with active community engagement and fundraising efforts. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrations such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional, consistent brand image with clear navigation. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks several important security headers and does not display privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, although the active social media presence and donation processing partnership suggest operational legitimacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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 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';…

  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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 hospice operates in the healthcare and non-profit sectors, focusing on end-of-life care and community support. Their business model relies on charitable donations, volunteer involvement, and community events. The presence of a dedicated donation processing partner (DonorPerfect) indicates a structured fundraising approach. The organization targets local residents in need of hospice services and their families, positioning itself as a compassionate care provider. Growth indicators include active social media channels and multiple fundraising campaigns. The lack of detailed WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not currently impact operational credibility. Strategic partnerships and community engagement are key strengths.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, which could hinder timely security issue reporting. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to protect against protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Add Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Include X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  5. Establish and publicize an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process to facilitate security issue reporting and resolution.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a popular CMS platform known for ease of use and integrated hosting. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts, which supports good performance and user experience. The site is mobile responsive and uses web fonts effectively. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility features and SEO metadata completeness. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by third-party scripts. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform, but reliance on external services for analytics and donations should be monitored for privacy and security implications.
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.
