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

The WTA Foundation website represents a non-profit organization affiliated with the WTA Tour Inc., focused on empowering girls and women globally through initiatives in equality, education, leadership, and health & wellness. The foundation collaborates with notable partners such as the Gates Foundation and donors like Hologic to support women's health and nutrition worldwide. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring clear branding and relevant content targeted at supporters and the WTA community. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is hosted on Squarespace, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though DNSSEC is not configured and some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is lacking due to absence of privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit contact information is provided. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned for its mission but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security practices.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  4. 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

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

The WTA Foundation operates as a charitable entity under WTA Tour Inc., leveraging the global tennis community to promote social change for women and girls. Its business model centers on fundraising, advocacy, and partnerships with global organizations. The foundation targets donors, WTA fans, and communities worldwide, emphasizing health and leadership programs. The website's external links to donation platforms and partner campaigns indicate a collaborative ecosystem. The foundation is newly established (2023), positioning itself as a growing player in the non-profit sector focused on women's issues. The lack of direct contact details and formal policies suggests room for maturity in organizational transparency and compliance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, indicating a secure transport layer. The domain is registered with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS spoofing risks. Security headers beyond HSTS are not evident, and no explicit incident response or security policies are published. No forms collecting sensitive data are visible, reducing attack surface. Analytics tracking via Google Tag Manager is present but without clear privacy disclosures. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  3. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for transparency and trust.
  4. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Disclose incident response procedures and security contact channels to demonstrate preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Squarespace CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and Typekit fonts for typography. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Classy for donation processing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses CDN-hosted assets for performance. While the technical implementation is solid, SEO and accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. The absence of privacy and cookie banners is a compliance gap. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and limited security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack vectors.
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.
