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

Together Outdoors is a small non-profit coalition dedicated to promoting equity and inclusion in outdoor recreation. The organization collaborates with outdoors-related entities and land management agencies to create a more welcoming environment for all. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, emphasizing advocacy, grant programs, and community engagement. The target audience includes outdoor enthusiasts and organizations focused on inclusivity. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and providing a good user experience with mobile optimization. However, the site lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, which impacts privacy compliance scores. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by adding security headers such as HSTS and CSP. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and social media presence suggest a legitimate operation. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and focused on non-profit advocacy but should address privacy and security best practices to enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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. 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 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';…
  3. 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

Business profile

Together Outdoors occupies a niche market within the non-profit sector, focusing on outdoor inclusivity and equity. Their business model revolves around coalition building, advocacy, and grant distribution to promote their mission. The organization leverages partnerships, such as with the Trust for Public Land, to enhance credibility and impact. Their digital presence is supported by a well-structured website and active social media channels, which help in outreach and community engagement. The lack of explicit business contact information and missing WHOIS data may limit direct business inquiries but does not detract from their advocacy role. Growth potential lies in expanding partnerships and increasing grant programs. The coalition's market position is that of a trusted advocate for inclusivity in outdoor recreation, serving a specialized audience.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the absence of critical security headers such as HSTS, Content Security Policy, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture and exposes the site to potential risks like protocol downgrade attacks, cross-site scripting, and clickjacking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site does not appear to have a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and BugHerd is standard but should be regularly audited for security. Recommendations include implementing missing security headers, establishing clear privacy and security policies, and publishing incident response contacts to improve security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to ensure all connections use HTTPS.
  2. Add a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Obtain and maintain clear domain registration information to improve trust and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, which provides a stable and modern infrastructure with integrated hosting and CMS capabilities. The use of Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager indicates standard web practices for typography and analytics. Performance is moderate, with images optimized for various screen sizes and lazy loading implemented. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and accessible navigation. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and some security best practices. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform but reliance on third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers, privacy compliance, and SEO to improve overall digital maturity.
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.
