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

Trillian Trust Limited is a New Zealand-based non-profit organization dedicated to distributing grants to local community groups and fostering partnerships with non-commercial organizations. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, clearly targeting community groups seeking funding and support. Their key services include grant distribution, community partnership facilitation, and venue information. The organization positions itself as a committed local community supporter with a small-sized operational scale. Technically, the website is built on the Rocketspark CMS platform, utilizing Vue.js and jQuery libraries, with content delivery via Cloudfront and Rocketspark CDN. The site employs HTTPS and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. While the site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, some technical debt is noted with the use of an older jQuery version. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are basic but functional. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens for form submissions, but lacks several important security headers and a published security or vulnerability disclosure policy. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website itself appears legitimate and operational. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business presence with good content quality and user experience but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and domain registration transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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. 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 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Trillian Trust operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on community grant distribution within New Zealand. Their business model revolves around supporting local community groups through funding and partnerships. The website indicates a well-established presence with clear contact channels and a partner ecosystem including grant application platforms and community organizations. Revenue streams are likely grant-based or funded through donations or endowments typical for non-profits. The target customer segment is local community groups and non-commercial entities seeking grants. Growth indicators are not explicit but the professional web presence and active grant rounds suggest ongoing operations. Strategic partnerships with organizations like GMANZ and service providers like Doppel and Coms Systems enhance operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection on forms. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, limiting transparency and incident response readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which may expose the organization to regulatory risks under GDPR and similar frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements in policy publication, header implementation, and domain registration transparency to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Rocketspark CMS platform with a tech stack including Vue.js and jQuery 1.7.2, which is outdated and should be updated. The site uses Typekit for fonts and Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Hosting is via Rocketspark CDN and AWS Cloudfront, providing reliable content delivery. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Technical debt is present due to older libraries and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve SEO with structured data, and enhance accessibility 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.
