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

4 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain api.wehero.co points to unregistered service d1t6i2xaecxuio.cloudfront.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory
    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain staging.wehero.co points to unregistered service do8rgh821nwh.cloudfront.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)

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

WeHero operates in the non-profit sector with a focus on corporate social responsibility and employee volunteerism. Their market positioning as a premium provider is supported by strong client endorsements and case studies. The company targets medium to large enterprises seeking to enhance their social impact through employee engagement. Their partnership ecosystem includes major corporations and nonprofit organizations aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The business model likely includes subscription or service fees for program design and execution. The website content and structure indicate a well-established brand with consistent messaging and strong growth potential in the corporate volunteering market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure integration of third-party marketing and analytics tools. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and secure form handling indicates awareness of bot mitigation and data protection. To enhance security posture, the company should publish explicit security policies, implement security.txt, and add recommended HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing direct contact channels for security and privacy inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and integrations with HubSpot, Google Analytics, and other marketing tools. The infrastructure supports fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The use of multiple analytics and tracking services indicates a sophisticated approach to user engagement and marketing optimization. Technical risks are minimal, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security and privacy documentation to reduce technical debt and enhance trust.
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.
