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

Adveniat is a German non-profit organization dedicated to supporting people in Latin America and the Caribbean through aid projects, fundraising, and awareness campaigns. The website serves as an information hub for their projects, donation options, events, and news updates. It targets a general audience interested in solidarity and development aid in Latin America. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages social media channels to extend its reach. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several plugins including WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Borlabs Cookie for cookie consent management. The site is served over HTTPS and includes modern web technologies such as jQuery and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security or privacy policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Tracking technologies include Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Google Ads, indicating moderate user tracking. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences. However, improvements could be made in privacy compliance documentation, security header implementation, and incident response readiness to enhance the security posture and regulatory compliance.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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 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

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

Adveniat operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity focused on Latin American development aid. Its business model revolves around fundraising, project support, and public engagement through information dissemination and events. The organization benefits from a strong brand and established market position within the non-profit aid sector in Germany. Revenue streams likely include donations, sponsorships, and sales via their online shop hosted on a partner domain. The target customer segments include donors, church communities, schools, and the general public interested in social justice and development. Partnerships with media and shop platforms indicate a collaborative ecosystem supporting their mission. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence aligned with their strategic goals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No direct contact channels for incident response or vulnerability disclosure were found, which could delay response to security incidents. The use of popular and regularly updated WordPress plugins reduces vulnerability risk, but continuous monitoring and patching are essential. Tracking scripts are present but managed via consent, aligning with GDPR principles. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could be improved with enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and security policies accessible on the website.
  2. Add and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with the Avada theme and several well-known plugins for SEO, e-commerce, event management, and cookie consent. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Fonts, ensuring a visually appealing and interactive user experience. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, leveraging Yoast SEO Premium. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of advanced security headers and incomplete privacy documentation indicate areas for modernization. Hosting details are not explicit, but domain name servers suggest a standard registrar setup. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's digital needs effectively.
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.
