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

SPEAK UP! Stay ChatTY is a non-profit organization focused on promoting positive mental health and preventing suicide across Australia. The website serves as a platform to deliver key messages about mental health awareness, stigma reduction, and encouraging help-seeking behaviors through community programs and events. The organization targets the general Australian public, aiming to foster open conversations about mental health and support networks. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce integration, likely to support merchandise or donations. It employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Slider Revolution, and FontAwesome icons. Hosting appears to be managed by Zest Hosting, an Australian provider. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the organization's Australian identity, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and clearer contact information. These improvements would strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 sector with a focus on mental health and suicide prevention in Australia. Its market positioning is as a community advocate and awareness promoter, leveraging programs and events to reach a broad audience. The business model likely includes community engagement, fundraising, and merchandise sales via WooCommerce. The target customers are individuals and communities interested in mental health support and suicide prevention. The website's partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified. Growth indicators include active content updates and event promotion. Strategic observations suggest a need for stronger digital privacy and security practices to maintain credibility and compliance.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is implemented to protect forms from spam and abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security effectiveness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies indicates a gap in security governance and readiness. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Enhancing these areas would improve the organization's security maturity and reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance contact information by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and WordPress core to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a widely used CMS platform, WordPress 6.8.1, with WooCommerce 9.9.5 for e-commerce capabilities. It uses common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrates Slider Revolution for dynamic content display. FontAwesome provides iconography, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms. Hosting is managed by Zest Hosting, an Australian provider, inferred from nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts like Google Analytics. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of some security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization and risk reduction.
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.
