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

The Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC) is a well-established nonprofit organization founded in 2003, focused on advancing sustainable packaging through education, collaboration, and action. It operates as a membership-based collaborative encompassing the entire packaging value chain, targeting businesses, educational institutions, organizations, and government agencies. The SPC is a trademark project of GreenBlue, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, indicating a strong parent organization backing. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear navigation and relevant content such as events, resources, and membership information. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and libraries including Yoast SEO, jQuery, Swiper.js, Gravity Forms, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy, with SSL enabled and moderate performance. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly but lacks some accessibility features and explicit security headers. Analytics and tracking tools are used moderately, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and reCAPTCHA for form protection but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers. No incident response or security policies are published. The WHOIS data shows a long domain age with consistent registration details, enhancing trustworthiness. No suspicious or malicious content is detected, and the site is safe for general audiences. Overall, the SPC website is credible and professionally maintained but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security headers, and published security policies to strengthen its security posture 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

8 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 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

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

SPC holds a strong market position as a nonprofit collaborative in the sustainable packaging sector, leveraging a membership model that includes diverse stakeholders across the packaging lifecycle. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive approach combining education, collaboration, and actionable initiatives. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event registrations, and partnerships. The target customer segments are businesses and organizations invested in sustainable packaging solutions. Growth indicators include active event hosting, resource publication, and strategic collaborations. The partnership ecosystem includes its parent GreenBlue and event collaborators like GreenBlue Events and the Sustainable Packaging Summit. SPC's operations emphasize sustainability leadership and industry-wide engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, and no published security or incident response policies indicate gaps. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is unclear. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a nonprofit informational site but requires enhancements to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with well-known plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Gravity Forms for data collection. The inclusion of Google Analytics, Tag Manager, and CrazyEgg indicates a focus on user behavior analysis and marketing optimization. The site is mobile responsive and uses Swiper.js for interactive content. Hosting is likely via GoDaddy, consistent with the registrar and nameservers. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and prefetching of DNS for external domains. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for modernization in security infrastructure.
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.
