The page may look different now._ ## Key findings - Automated classification: Sensitive Interaction Risk. - Domain age: more than 10 years (registration continuity). - Public web-archive history exists since 2000. - At least one reputation service TrustSniffer consulted had flagged this domain at assessment time. ## Full analysis ### Overview The website presents itself as the National Centre for Advocacy Studies (NCAS), an informational non-profit advocacy and capacity-building organisation focused on human rights, public policy, participatory governance, workshops, courses, publications, reports, and public resources rather than direct commercial sales. ### Scam/Impersonation Risk The site’s public content is consistent with an NGO informational website and contains no detected login form, payment workflow, wallet connection, or other sensitive-interaction mechanism. However, this benign presentation is materially outweighed by external threat intelligence recording three malicious detections, two suspicious detections, and a confirmed blacklist status from multiple external sources. Four suspicious inline scripts and suspicious network behaviour were also observed during technical interaction. No conflicting legal-entity names, brand-impersonation indicator, or page-level phishing indicator was identified, so the principal concern is the external reputation contradiction rather than a demonstrated identity conflict. Sensitive interaction should therefore be treated as unsafe pending independent resolution. Evidence: - The homepage and programme/resource pages describe advocacy work, workshops, publications, reports, and courses, with no forms or e-commerce elements detected. - External reputation checks recorded 3 malicious and 2 suspicious detections and a confirmed blacklist status. - The site’s domain was registered on 1999-10-25 and is 26.84 years old. - Archive records contain 333 snapshots spanning 2000-08-16 through 2026-06-08, covering 27 years. ### Regulatory Verification Notes The About Us, Contact, and Governance/Disclosure pages provide a named organisation, an executive structure, team information, an address in Pune, telephone details, operating hours, and references to annual and financial reports. These materials support a coherent organisational presentation, but the real-world operator remains independently unverified and the available disclosure state is unclear. The site does not claim a financial or other regulated licence and does not provide a licence number; for an organisation presenting advocacy, educational, and public-policy activities, this is principally a transparency and verification matter rather than proof of a scam. The long-running registration and archival continuity are positive provenance signals, but they do not neutralise the confirmed external reputation issue. Evidence: - The About Us page states that NCAS was set up in 1992 and describes its mission, programmes, and organisational structure. - The Governance/Disclosure and Resources pages reference annual reports, financial reports, policy documents, publications, and related organisational materials. - The domain registrar is HOSTINGER operations, UAB. - Transport encryption uses a DV certificate issued by YR2, valid to 2026-09-25T06:21:22+00:00. ### What to Verify Next Before any sensitive engagement, an institution should independently confirm that the organisation named on the About Us and Contact pages is the entity operating the domain, using an offline or independently sourced contact route. Any claimed registration, charitable status, educational authority, or funding relationship should be checked against the relevant official registry rather than relying on site content. The confirmed external reputation detections should also be escalated to the organisation’s security or fraud team for validation before the domain is permitted for authenticated or financially consequential activity. Evidence: - The Contact page supplies an organisational address, telephone number, and stated operating hours that can support an independent contact check. - The site includes Governance/Disclosure, annual-report, and financial-report references that can be compared with independently obtained organisational records. - The available analysis identifies no login form, hidden sensitive form, wallet provider, wallet-drainer activity, or clipboard-hijacking behaviour. ### Summary Verdict This is a low-trust website with a **high-concern sensitive-interaction posture**. Its coherent informational presentation and established historical presence support the existence of a longstanding web property, but the confirmed external reputation contradiction and unverified operator identity prevent the site from being treated as trustworthy for authenticated, credential-bearing, or financially consequential use. ### Infrastructure Integrity The site resolves directly to infrastructure operated by HOSTCOIN-AS-IN-AP – ESDS Software Solution Limited in India, using AS45815, with no CDN or WAF detected and one likely origin address. This provides a technically identifiable hosting path but offers limited protective separation; infrastructure quality does not offset the external reputation concern. Evidence: - Served from AS45815 (HOSTCOIN-AS-IN-AP – ESDS Software Solution Limited., IN), resolved in India. - The resolved address is 115.124.124.227; edge IP count is 0 and likely origin IP count is 1. ### Closing Assessment The appropriate immediate posture is passive review only, with no credential submission, account login, or financial interaction until the external reputation findings and operator identity have been independently resolved. _Written analysis generated 2026-08-19 by the TrustSniffer Analysis Engine from the evidence in this report._ ## What the analysis found 2 findings contributed to this verdict, raised by registration and ownership, analysis engine, behaviour in a sandbox, external reputation. ### 01 Governance Risk - The public registration record for this domain is incomplete. (Registration and ownership `rule:KF_WHOIS_INCOMPLETE`) ### 02 Sensitive Interaction Risk - The analysis matched a pattern TrustSniffer treats as a direct threat to a visitor. (Analysis engine `signal:direct_threat`) - The page carried inline scripts written in a style TrustSniffer treats as suspicious. (Behaviour in a sandbox `rule:BEHAV_SUSPICIOUS_INLINE_SCRIPTS`) - An external threat feed lists this domain: either Google Safe Browsing marked it malicious, or a significant number of malware engines flagged it. (External reputation `rule:EXT_BLACKLIST_CRITICAL`) ## Identity verification | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Status | UNVERIFIED | | Identity score | 30/100 | | Identity verification confidence | 50% | - No on-site identity signals detected _Identity verification measures whether the site can be independently connected to a real-world brand or person. It is separate from the classification confidence._ ## What TrustSniffer observed First-party facts recorded during the assessment of ncasindia.org. - The request stayed on ncasindia.org.

It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present. TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed. ## Related on TrustSniffer - [gammaomegachapter.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/gammaomegachapter.org) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [permasis.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/permasis.org) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [ahpweb.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ahpweb.org) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [dsc1996.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/dsc1996.org) (Low Trust, 27/100) - [besthomeworkhelp.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/besthomeworkhelp.org) (Low Trust, 25/100) - [autoriparatori.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/autoriparatori.org) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [archivotomasmontero.org risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/archivotomasmontero.org) (Low Trust, 25/100) - [1stamericaninternetmarketing.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/1stamericaninternetmarketing.com) (Low Trust, 33/100) - [1ams.in risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/1ams.in) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [1877gogreen.com risk report](https://trustsniffer.com/report/1877gogreen.com) (Low Trust, 40/100) - [Every website and wallet TrustSniffer has assessed](https://trustsniffer.com/directory) - [Other domains assessed as high-risk or phishing](https://trustsniffer.com/directory/phishing-domains) - [Check another website](https://trustsniffer.com/web-intelligence) - [Check a crypto wallet address](https://trustsniffer.com/on-chain-risk) - [The TrustSniffer Risk Index](https://trustsniffer.com/stats) ## Guides - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 28, 2026: 24 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-28) - [Stablecoin Freezes, Sep 27, 2026: 3 Wallets](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/stablecoin-freeze-report-2026-09-27) - [How We See USDT Wallet Freezes Coming](https://trustsniffer.com/blog/how-trustsniffer-sees-usdt-wallet-freezes-coming) --- *Source: [TrustSniffer](https://trustsniffer.com/report/ncasindia.org) — independent automated trust & fraud analysis.
