Partial score · DNS & email only

47/100

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

Young People First is a UK-based non-profit organization focused on supporting young people in Warwickshire, aiming to remove disadvantages that limit youth potential. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, with content relevant to its mission and target audience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating Google reCAPTCHA for form security and Google Tag Manager for analytics. While the site is accessible and uses HTTPS, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to a domain registration error, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content appears genuine and trustworthy. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in security headers and formal policies.

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

7 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 operates in the non-profit sector, targeting youth in Warwickshire with community and development programs. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on social impact rather than commercial revenue. The website's market position is local and community-focused, with no evident commercial partnerships or subsidiaries. The digital presence is professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency through published policies and contact information. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of marketing and analytics sophistication, but no aggressive advertising or affiliate programs are detected.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency in security management. The lack of WHOIS data and domain registration metadata is a concern, although no direct vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS platform. It uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as fonts.googleapis.com and gstatic.com. Performance appears moderate with standard optimization, and mobile responsiveness is good. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy mechanisms. The WHOIS lookup failure suggests a potential issue with domain registration metadata, which should be investigated further. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
