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

Working Chance is a UK-based non-profit charity dedicated to supporting women with convictions to find employment and education opportunities. The organization provides tailored support including CV preparation, interview coaching, confidence building, and employer training. It holds a unique market position as the only UK charity solely focused on this demographic, working closely with employers and policymakers to break down barriers and stigma. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the site uses modern analytics tools and is hosted on DigitalOcean with a CDN, showing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent implemented, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is good with clear cookie and privacy policies. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and trustworthiness of the organization.

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. 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 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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention workingchance.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for workingchance.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Working Chance operates in the non-profit sector, targeting women with convictions and employers interested in social impact hiring. Its business model revolves around charitable support and advocacy, with services including direct client support, employer engagement, and policy research. The organization is small-sized, founded in 2007, and maintains a consistent brand presence. It leverages partnerships and social media to enhance reach. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence, though explicit contact details and security policies could be more transparent. The charity's impact is supported by client testimonials and measurable outcomes, positioning it as a trusted entity in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be enhanced by adopting best practices and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Include explicit company contact details such as email addresses and phone numbers for better transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on DigitalOcean with content delivery via DigitalOcean Spaces CDN, ensuring reliable performance. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and analytics. The HTML structure is modern and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements and more comprehensive metadata could improve overall quality.
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.
