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

Tree-Nation is an established environmental platform founded in 2006 that facilitates tree planting and carbon offsetting for individuals and companies worldwide. The website positions itself as a simple and accessible solution for environmental sustainability, targeting citizens and businesses interested in reducing their carbon footprint. The platform leverages a moderate technical infrastructure including popular analytics and marketing tools such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel, hosted on AWS DNS services. The website demonstrates good design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, although some accessibility features appear basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security best practices.

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 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. 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

Tree-Nation operates in the niche environmental sustainability sector, focusing on reforestation and carbon offsetting services. Its business model likely involves donations, corporate partnerships, and possibly subscription or offset purchase programs. The company targets environmentally conscious individuals and organizations globally. The domain's long registration history and consistent WHOIS data support the legitimacy and stability of the business. The platform uses multiple marketing and analytics tools to engage and track users, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. However, the lack of explicit contact information and privacy documentation may limit trust for some users. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, no DNSSEC is enabled, which could improve DNS security. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency for security researchers. The site uses several third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which may introduce privacy and security risks if not properly managed. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content. Incident response contacts and security policies are not visible, indicating potential gaps in security governance and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Font Awesome 7 Pro for icons and integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics services such as HubSpot, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook Pixel. Hosting is via AWS DNS services, indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and includes SEO best practices like canonical and hreflang tags for multilingual support. However, no CMS or web framework was explicitly detected. Performance appears moderate, likely impacted by multiple external scripts. Accessibility features are basic, suggesting room for improvement to meet higher standards. The site lacks explicit security headers and privacy mechanisms, which are technical gaps that should be addressed to improve security posture and compliance.
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.
