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.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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"
This scan found 28 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Karibu Community Homes operates in the real estate and non-profit sectors, focusing on housing provision and community support. Their competitive advantage lies in being the largest BME-led housing provider in the UK, with strong community engagement and regulatory compliance. The business model centers on tenant services, community involvement, and support programs. Revenue streams likely include housing rents and government or community funding. The target customers are tenants and community members, with growth indicated by recent corporate plans and active engagement channels. Partnerships include contractors like Ecosafe for repairs and accessibility service providers like ReciteMe. The company maintains a professional digital presence with active social media channels and transparent communication.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented in an opt-in mode. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and third-party scripts are limited to trusted providers such as Google Tag Manager and ReciteMe. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy and incident response contact information indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Security headers are not explicitly detected, which could be enhanced to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. Overall, the site shows good security hygiene but would benefit from formalizing and publishing security governance documents and incident response procedures.
Recommendations
Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
Implement and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Regularly review and update third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and privacy impact assessments.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Concrete CMS version 9.5.1, utilizing jQuery and ResponsiveSlides.js for UI components. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, while ReciteMe provides accessibility enhancements. The site is hosted by Spitfire Network Services Limited, a reputable UK hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve security headers and optimize loading times further. The site architecture supports clear navigation and user engagement, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure aligned with business goals.
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.
