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

Young Survival Coalition is a well-established nonprofit organization founded in 1999, dedicated to supporting young women aged 40 and under diagnosed with breast cancer. The organization provides comprehensive educational resources, peer support, advocacy, and fundraising initiatives to empower and assist its target audience. The website reflects a strong market position as a trusted leader in this specialized healthcare support sector, with clear branding and consistent messaging tailored to young breast cancer survivors and their support networks. Technically, the website employs a modern CMS (FusionCMS), integrates widely used analytics and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring good performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a positive user experience. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain transfer protections in place. The WHOIS data aligns well with the organization's identity, reinforcing legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The site lacks explicit incident response or security policy disclosures, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and preparedness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its mission effectively. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, adding cookie consent for GDPR compliance, and publishing clear security and incident response policies to further strengthen security posture and user trust.

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. 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. 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

  3. 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 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Young Survival Coalition operates in the healthcare nonprofit sector, focusing on a niche market of young breast cancer survivors. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized support services, educational content, and a strong community presence. Revenue streams likely include donations, fundraising events, and partnerships. The organization targets young women diagnosed with breast cancer and their co-survivors, leveraging digital platforms and social media for outreach. Partnerships with related campaigns and fundraising sites enhance its ecosystem. The website's comprehensive content and professional design indicate a mature digital presence supporting organizational growth and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers suggests moderate security hardening. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The use of CSRF tokens indicates secure form handling. However, the lack of publicly available security policies and incident response contacts represents a compliance gap. The site uses third-party tracking scripts which require proper privacy disclosures and consent mechanisms to align with GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the security posture is solid but can be improved with enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact information for reporting security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on FusionCMS, a modern content management system, and uses popular JavaScript libraries and tracking tools. Hosting via Cloudflare DNS provides performance and security benefits. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for accessibility and SEO. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load speed by optimizing third-party scripts. The technical infrastructure is stable and supports the organization's digital goals effectively. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance privacy 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.
