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

The Asian Species Action Partnership (ASAP) website represents a collaborative non-profit initiative focused on preventing species extinction in Southeast Asia. The platform serves as a hub for over 200 organizations, providing resources, funding opportunities, training, and partnership facilitation to accelerate conservation efforts. The website is professionally designed using the Squarespace CMS, featuring clear navigation and mobile optimization. However, it lacks explicit privacy policies and direct contact information, which are important for trust and compliance. The security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response 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

4 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

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

  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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention speciesonthebrink.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for speciesonthebrink.org 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

ASAP positions itself as a key player in the conservation sector within Southeast Asia, leveraging a network model to amplify impact. Its business model is centered on partnership and resource sharing rather than commercial transactions. The presence of social media channels and structured content indicates active engagement with stakeholders. The absence of detailed WHOIS data is typical for non-profits using privacy protection. The organization targets conservation professionals, donors, and partner organizations, emphasizing sustainable and ground-up conservation solutions.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with HSTS, ensuring encrypted communications and protection against protocol downgrade attacks. The cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of comprehensive security headers and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the accessible content. The site would benefit from enhanced security policies and transparency to improve trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data handling and GDPR compliance.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse contact email.
  4. Implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing standard web technologies including jQuery and Typekit fonts. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern CSS and JavaScript assets served via Squarespace's CDN. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The lack of advanced analytics or tracking scripts suggests minimal user tracking. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
