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

W & E Baum is a specialized manufacturer and designer of donor recognition and memorial products with a legacy spanning over 100 years. The company serves a diverse clientele including houses of worship, educational institutions, hospitals, non-profits, and corporations primarily in the United States. Their product portfolio includes donor walls, trees, plaques, awards, and religious items, positioning them as a niche leader in the donor recognition market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to their target audience. Technically, the website employs common web technologies such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, Adobe Launch, Google Tag Manager, and Zendesk Chat to enhance user experience and marketing capabilities. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, though accessibility features appear basic. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. From a security perspective, the site lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. While HTTPS usage is implied, it is not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. The absence of incident response and vulnerability disclosure information indicates room for improvement in security transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly enhanced with standard best practices. The domain registration data aligns well with the company's claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness. The website's business credibility is strong due to clear contact information, testimonials, and a long-standing market presence. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enhancing security headers, enforcing HTTPS, and improving GDPR compliance to elevate trust and security standards.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

W & E Baum operates in a specialized manufacturing niche focused on donor recognition and memorial products. Their competitive advantage lies in their century-long history, craftsmanship, and tailored solutions for religious and institutional clients. The business model is B2B, relying on custom design and manufacturing services. Revenue streams likely come from product sales and custom projects. The company targets non-profits, educational institutions, and houses of worship, indicating a stable and mission-driven customer base. Growth indicators include a broad national service footprint and active social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing and chat service providers but no explicit business partners or subsidiaries were identified. The company maintains a professional online presence but lacks some modern compliance and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Incident response readiness is not evident, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. Data protection practices appear minimal, with no visible data encryption or secure form handling details. The use of third-party scripts introduces potential risk vectors that require monitoring. Overall, the security culture appears basic and would benefit from formalized policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Enforce HTTPS across the entire website and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack with jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components, Adobe Launch for tag management, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Zendesk Chat for customer support. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with asynchronous script loading to improve performance. However, no CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified, which may indicate a custom or legacy infrastructure. The absence of modern security headers and privacy compliance features suggests technical debt and areas for modernization. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and security best practices to reduce operational risks.
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.
