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.

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

AVF operates in the non-profit sector focused on vegetarianism advocacy and education. Its business model centers on community building, publishing, membership, and fundraising through donations and an online shop. The organization leverages multiple related domains to segment its activities and target audiences effectively. AVF's competitive advantage lies in its established reputation, comprehensive content, and active social media presence. The target customers include individuals interested in vegetarianism, environmental sustainability, and ethical eating. The presence of multiple partner sites and a physical office in Paris indicates organizational maturity and operational scale. Strategic partnerships and diversified content offerings position AVF well for continued growth and influence in the vegetarian advocacy space.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and integration of secure payment processing via PayPal. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which is common for non-profit organizations but could be enhanced to improve transparency. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from additional hardening and formalized security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant certifications or trust badges to strengthen business credibility.

FontAwesome provides iconography, and Google Analytics along with Google Tag Manager enable detailed traffic analysis. The PayPal SDK facilitates secure payment processing.

The technical stack is current and well-supported, indicating good infrastructure quality and maintainability.
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.
