Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and Security headers.

Security score

71/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster is a non-profit voluntary rural youth organization based in Northern Ireland, serving as the largest such entity in the region. The website is built on the Wix platform, utilizing standard Wix technologies and includes LinkedIn Insight Tag for marketing analytics. The site content is relevant and well-structured for its target audience of rural youth, with good design and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, and no contact information is readily available in the provided HTML content. Security posture is basic, with no detected security headers or advanced configurations, and WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection or malformed queries. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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

The organization positions itself as a key player in rural youth engagement in Northern Ireland, operating as a medium-sized non-profit. Its business model focuses on voluntary community activities and youth development. The website supports this mission with relevant content but lacks detailed business information such as founding year or registration details. The use of LinkedIn analytics indicates an interest in marketing and outreach. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the domain or content analysis. The organization could improve transparency and trust by publishing more comprehensive business and compliance information.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic. The website uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs) but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No forms or input fields were detected in the provided HTML, reducing immediate risk of input-based vulnerabilities. The use of third-party scripts like LinkedIn Insight Tag introduces moderate tracking but no apparent vulnerabilities. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, limiting readiness for security events. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from improved security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve incident handling readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize tracking and potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider WHOIS data transparency or verified domain registration to enhance trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix, leveraging its CMS and infrastructure, which simplifies management but limits custom security controls. The tech stack includes JavaScript, JSON-LD structured data for SEO, and LinkedIn Insight Tag for analytics. Performance is moderate with standard Wix optimizations. Mobile optimization is good, and basic accessibility features are present but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks advanced optimizations. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries in the visible code. Technical debt is low due to platform reliance, but customization and security enhancements are limited by the Wix environment.
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.
