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

Stand Up To Cancer is a well-established non-profit organization focused on raising awareness and funding innovative cancer research. The website serves as a platform for donations, fundraising campaigns, and educational resources targeting the general public, cancer patients, and researchers. The organization holds a strong market position as a leader in cancer research funding with a large audience and multiple partnerships. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and integrates several modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no visible privacy or terms of service policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and effective in its mission, but could improve transparency and security documentation.

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
    • 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 the non-profit healthcare sector, focusing on cancer research funding and awareness. Its business model relies on donations, fundraising events, and partnerships with corporations and individuals. The website integrates with third-party fundraising platforms and offers multiple giving options including stock donations, vehicle donations, and donor-advised funds. The target audience includes donors, cancer patients, researchers, and advocates. The organization has a strong digital presence with active social media channels and uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize engagement. Growth indicators include partnerships with major brands like American Airlines and a dedicated stream team platform. The business ecosystem is supported by related domains and partner sites that facilitate various donation methods.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, which could improve DNS security. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and tracking pixels, which increases the attack surface but appears to be managed responsibly. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers, DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the main navigation.
  3. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme, a popular and feature-rich theme. It leverages jQuery and Slider Revolution for interactive content and visual effects. Fundraise Up is integrated for donation processing, indicating a modern approach to fundraising technology. The site uses multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and Bing Ads, reflecting a sophisticated marketing infrastructure. Hosting and DNS are managed via Network Solutions and Cloudflare respectively, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and 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.
