Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

The website yukon.ca is the official online presence of the Yukon Government, serving residents and visitors with governmental information and services. The domain is well-established since 2010 and registered in Canada, consistent with its governmental nature. However, the website content is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Turnstile human verification challenge, which blocks direct content analysis. This limits visibility into the website's privacy policies, contact information, and detailed content quality. The technical infrastructure leverages Cloudflare for security and performance, indicating a modern approach to web hosting and protection. Security posture is partially observable with domain status flags indicating good domain security, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement. Overall, the site appears legitimate and safe, with no adult or explicit content detected.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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';…

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

Yukon.ca operates as a government portal providing essential public services and information to the Yukon territory's population and visitors. Its market position is that of an official regional government website, with a medium organizational size typical of government entities. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on public administration and citizen engagement. The domain age and registrant data align with the expected longevity and legitimacy of a government site. The partnership ecosystem is not visible due to content blocking, but the use of Cloudflare suggests a focus on security and performance. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not applicable in this government context.

Security posture

The website employs Cloudflare's security services, including Turnstile CAPTCHA and Cloudflare Insights for analytics, indicating a proactive security stance. Domain registration statuses such as clientTransferProhibited and serverDeleteProhibited enhance domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security gap. No visible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found in the accessible content. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps. The WAF challenge, while enhancing security, limits external analysis and user accessibility. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with enhanced transparency and DNSSEC implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and security policies accessible to users.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels.
  4. Optimize website accessibility and SEO once WAF challenge is passed to improve user experience.
  5. Consider reducing WAF challenge friction for legitimate users to improve accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Cloudflare, utilizing their Turnstile CAPTCHA for bot mitigation and Cloudflare Insights for performance analytics. The HTML content is minimal due to the security challenge, preventing full technical assessment. No CMS or frameworks are detectable from the accessible content. The domain registration is consistent and secure with multiple prohibitive status flags. Performance and mobile optimization cannot be assessed due to content blocking. The technical stack is modern in terms of security infrastructure but lacks visible SEO and accessibility features in the blocked content.
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.
