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

Together Trust is a well-established UK-based non-profit organization delivering care, support, and education services primarily across the North West of England. Founded in 1870, it serves thousands of children, adults, parents, and carers through a variety of programs including caring homes, fostering, education, community support, therapy, and campaigning. The organization positions itself as a trusted provider with a strong regional presence and a comprehensive service offering tailored to vulnerable populations. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO and Google Analytics. It employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR and provides a user-friendly, accessible, and mobile-optimized experience. The technical infrastructure is solid, with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google Tag Manager and YouTube embeds for content delivery and tracking. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS, cookie consent with granular controls, and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA. However, some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected and could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance posture. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to querying the www subdomain, but the domain and website content align with a legitimate, longstanding non-profit entity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to sustain security 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

1 finding 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

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

Together Trust operates in the non-profit sector focused on social care and education. Its market positioning is strong regionally with a history dating back over 150 years, which provides significant trust and brand equity. The business model relies on delivering direct care services, education, community support, and fundraising activities. Revenue streams likely include donations, grants, service contracts, and fundraising events. The target customer segments include vulnerable children and adults, families, carers, and professionals in the care sector. The organization has a partnership ecosystem including platforms like Enthuse for donations and event management. Growth indicators include active campaigning, community events, and diversified service offerings. Operationally, the organization shows maturity with clear policies, compliance mechanisms, and digital presence.

Security posture

The security maturity of the Together Trust website is good. HTTPS is enforced ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent is implemented with detailed categories and user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. Google reCAPTCHA is used to mitigate spam and bot attacks. However, some standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly present, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which is common for non-profit organizations but could be enhanced for transparency. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and user trust but can be strengthened with additional headers and documented incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy header to reduce risk of XSS and data injection attacks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to improve protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security collaboration.
  4. Document and publish incident response procedures or contact channels for security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and analytics, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. The site loads images responsively and uses modern CSS and JavaScript for layout and interactivity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. The site uses embedded YouTube videos with consent gating. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some security headers could be added to improve security posture. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
