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

Womens Utilities Network (WUN) is a UK-based organization focused on empowering women in the utilities sector, particularly energy and water. Founded in 2018, WUN provides networking, mentoring, career development, and events to support women in building fulfilling careers. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with active social media engagement and a clear mission. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and themes, offering good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. No privacy or terms of service pages were found, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data support the legitimacy of the organization.

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

6 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 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

WUN occupies a niche market segment targeting women professionals in the utilities industry. Its business model is primarily non-profit and community-driven, focusing on career development and networking. The organization leverages partnerships, such as with Utility Week, to enhance its market presence. Revenue streams likely include event sponsorships and membership fees. The website content and structure support growth and engagement with its target audience. The partnership ecosystem and active content channels (blogs, podcasts) indicate a strategic approach to community building and thought leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, it lacks several recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, etc.) and does not publicly disclose security or incident response policies. The presence of reCAPTCHA indicates some protection against automated abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the broken video content could be a minor risk for user experience. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy and terms pages. Incident response readiness and data protection officer contact are not evident.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Fix broken video media sources to enhance user experience and avoid potential security warnings.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several popular plugins including Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, and Slick Carousel. It uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling and icons. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics with cookie consent. Hosting is provided by Fasthosts Internet Ltd, consistent with the WHOIS data. Some technical debt is indicated by the broken video player and missing security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
