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

5 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. 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

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 non-profit environmental sector with a focus on reforestation and CO2 offsetting. It serves a global audience with over 44 million trees planted and partnerships with more than 17,500 companies. The business model includes subscription-based and one-time payment plans, offering tailored solutions for individuals and organizations. Its market position is reinforced by official partnerships with UNEP and adherence to recognized carbon offset standards. The company is transitioning its operations to Neovee Solutions in Spain, indicating organizational growth and strategic realignment. The platform's extensive use of social media and transparent reporting enhances its competitive advantage and community trust.

Security posture

The security posture of Tree-Nation is strong, with modern TLS protocols (1.3 and 1.2) enabled and no critical SSL vulnerabilities detected. The use of OCSP stapling ensures timely certificate status verification. However, the absence of HSTS, DNSSEC, and CAA records indicates areas for improvement in protecting against certain attack vectors such as DNS spoofing and unauthorized certificate issuance. The current DMARC policy is set to 'none', which provides minimal email protection. The platform employs multiple tracking and marketing scripts, which necessitates careful privacy management. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene but should consider enhancing its HTTP security headers and DNS configurations to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and cache poisoning attacks.
  3. Add CAA DNS records to restrict which certificate authorities can issue certificates for the domain.
  4. Strengthen DMARC policy from 'none' to 'quarantine' or 'reject' to improve email security and reduce phishing risks.
  5. Regularly review and minimize third-party scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve site performance.

Technical notes

Notes

Tree-Nation's infrastructure is hosted on Amazon AWS, utilizing a custom Vue.js single-page application architecture. The site integrates a broad range of third-party services including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, HubSpot, and Stripe for payments. The performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 19 seconds and over 350 resources loaded, indicating potential optimization opportunities. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices including multilingual support and structured data. The extensive use of Font Awesome icons and modern web fonts enhances visual appeal. Technical risks include the lack of DNSSEC and certain security headers, which could be addressed to improve overall resilience.
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.
