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

The AFAS Foundation is a Dutch non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and supporting social projects that create significant positive impact. The foundation focuses on funding and facilitating initiatives that help many people and inspire change. Their website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides detailed information about ongoing projects, events, and news updates. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks explicit security headers and privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits full verification of domain legitimacy, but the website content and branding are consistent with a reputable non-profit entity. Overall, the foundation demonstrates a solid digital presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, YouTube, Google APIs

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

  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.

Business context

Business profile

AFAS Foundation operates in the non-profit sector, targeting individuals and organizations interested in social impact and charitable projects. Their business model revolves around funding and supporting projects in healthcare, education, environment, and social welfare. The foundation maintains a medium-sized presence with a professional website showcasing a broad portfolio of approved and ongoing projects. They leverage partnerships and events to engage stakeholders and expand their impact. The foundation's market position is stable within the Dutch non-profit ecosystem, with a clear focus on transparency and community involvement. Growth indicators include active project approvals and a substantial budget allocation for 2025. The foundation's digital ecosystem integrates marketing and analytics tools to monitor engagement and outreach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and security contact information are not provided, which could hinder timely reporting and mitigation of security issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a non-profit informational site but requiring enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish contact information for security incidents and designate an incident response contact channel.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information to ensure transparency and domain legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a proprietary CMS platform by AFAS, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap Grid, and Font Awesome icons. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided content. However, the lack of explicit hosting provider information and security headers suggests opportunities for infrastructure improvements. The site could benefit from enhanced SEO metadata and accessibility compliance to improve search engine ranking and user experience.
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.
