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

Tools for Humanity is a global technology company founded in 2019, focused on building open-source solutions to empower individuals and communities, particularly in the AI era. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and Munich, Germany, and employs over 400 professionals across various disciplines. Their key projects include The Orb and the World App, aimed at creating a more just economic system. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive legal and privacy documentation. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with integrations including Google Analytics and CookiePro for privacy compliance. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, indicating a high level of digital maturity. However, some security best practices like explicit security headers and a published security policy are missing, which could be improved to enhance the security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, as it reduces domain trustworthiness despite the professional appearance and content quality of the website. Overall, the website is well-designed and content-rich, but the missing WHOIS data and some security best practices suggest a moderate risk level. Strategic improvements in transparency and security documentation are recommended to strengthen 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

4 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 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 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 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

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

Tools for Humanity operates in the technology sector with a focus on AI and open-source tools. Their business model centers on developing innovative technology products like The Orb and World App, targeting a global audience interested in equitable economic systems. The company has a strong workforce and a clear market position as an innovator. Partnerships, such as with World.org, enhance their ecosystem. The absence of direct contact information on the website may limit customer engagement but the presence of social media channels supports outreach. The company appears to be growing and strategically positioned in the AI technology space.

Security posture

The security maturity of Tools for Humanity's website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options), absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts, and no vulnerability disclosure program reduce the overall security posture. The missing WHOIS data further impacts trust. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. Enhancing security documentation and implementing additional headers would improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response page.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear security contact channels (e.g., security@toolsforhumanity.com) on the website.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The use of Google Analytics and CookiePro indicates a mature approach to analytics and privacy compliance. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO considerations. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more transparent domain registration data.
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.
