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

UK Gov Camp is a UK-based non-profit organization that hosts an annual unconference aimed at improving public sector services. The event is community-driven, free to attend, and funded by sponsors and grants. The website serves as an informational hub for past events, sponsors, news, and contact details. Technically, the site is built with standard HTML and CSS, hosted with Cloudflare DNS services, and shows moderate performance with good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

6 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

UK Gov Camp occupies a niche position in the UK government and non-profit sector, focusing on public sector improvement through community engagement. Its business model relies on sponsorship and grant funding rather than commercial revenue. The organization targets public sector professionals and stakeholders interested in collaborative innovation. The use of GitHub for source code transparency and clear licensing indicates a commitment to openness. The event's longevity since 2010 suggests stable community support and relevance. However, the lack of extensive marketing or analytics tools indicates a low commercial focus.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and stable domain registration. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency in security management. The site does not collect user data via forms, reducing attack surface. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Implement key security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple, clean HTML and CSS structure without heavy frameworks or CMS detected. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, but no CDN or advanced platform detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags found. No analytics or tracking scripts detected, indicating minimal data collection. The site is stable but could benefit from modernization such as adding accessibility improvements, SEO enhancements, and security best practices.
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.
