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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • 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

  2. 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';…

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

Stewardship operates in the non-profit sector, targeting Christian philanthropists, churches, and charities. Its business model revolves around facilitating giving and fundraising through various financial and advisory services. The organization benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem, including dedicated partner and account subdomains. Revenue streams likely include fees for managed funds, consultancy, and fundraising services. The website's comprehensive content and resource offerings indicate a mature organization with a focus on education and support. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to engagement and growth. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site may indicate a preference for managed contact channels via forms. The organization maintains a consistent brand and high trust indicators, positioning it well within its niche market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Cloudflare for bot mitigation, and a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Security headers are likely implemented though not explicitly visible in the HTML. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and preparedness. The use of multiple third-party scripts and marketing tools necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve by publishing formal security documentation and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to enhance transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries to improve accessibility.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize security risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance visible trust signals such as certifications or awards to strengthen business credibility.

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.
