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 (SP), providing information, community programs, and funding research to find treatments and a cure. The website is professionally designed, primarily in French, with a clear focus on community engagement, fundraising, and research participation. The technical infrastructure leverages Drupal CMS hosted on Linode, with modern tracking and marketing tools integrated. Security posture is good with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security policy or vulnerability disclosure is published. Privacy compliance is basic, lacking visible privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Contact information is clearly presented, including email and phone support. Overall, the site is trustworthy, content-rich, and well-structured for its audience.

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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs, Google Ads

      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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention spcanada.ca, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for spcanada.ca 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

The organization operates in the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on multiple sclerosis awareness, support, and research funding. It maintains partnerships with related domains for English content, research programs, and donation processing. The business model relies on donations, fundraising events, and community programs. The website supports bilingual access and integrates multiple event and donation platforms, indicating a mature digital presence. Growth potential is supported by active community engagement and research participation initiatives.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status locks to prevent unauthorized transfers or updates. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No Content-Security-Policy header was detected, which is recommended to mitigate cross-site scripting risks. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Third-party scripts are used extensively, which requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to reduce XSS attack surface.
  3. Publish a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal CMS with Bootstrap framework, hosted on Linode. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Twitter UWT, Bing Ads, and Reddit Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices such as canonical and hreflang tags. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external scripts. The site uses modern fonts and responsive design. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
