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

The website represents a small non-profit organization named Arbeitskreis Humanitäre Hilfe für Asylbewerber e.V., focused on providing humanitarian aid and consultation services to asylum seekers in Germany. The site content is primarily informational, offering consultation times and links to related refugee support organizations. The organization appears to operate locally with a clear humanitarian mission. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix Ultimate template and Bootstrap 5.3.3, indicating a moderately modern infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism that blocks cookies and local storage until user consent is given, reflecting good privacy awareness. However, no advanced analytics or tracking tools are detected, and security headers are not present, suggesting room for improvement in security hardening. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and terms of service. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's purpose and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting the legitimacy of the domain. Overall, the website is safe, with content appropriate for a general audience. It demonstrates basic compliance with GDPR through its privacy and cookie policies but could enhance its security posture and business credibility by adding more detailed policies and contact information.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

The organization operates in the non-profit sector, targeting asylum seekers and related communities in Germany. Its business model is service-oriented, providing consultation and humanitarian aid without commercial intent. The website positions the organization as a local support entity with links to larger refugee advocacy groups, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The lack of commercial elements or monetization suggests funding likely comes from donations or grants. The site’s simple structure and limited content reflect a small organizational size with a focused mission rather than broad market ambitions.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented with blocking mechanisms, which is positive. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are present, limiting transparency and readiness for security events. No analytics or tracking scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit monitoring capabilities. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common attacks.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update Joomla CMS and all plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Introduce a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with the Helix Ultimate template and Bootstrap 5.3.3, indicating a modern but standard technology stack. jQuery is also used. The site is mobile responsive and includes a cookie consent mechanism that disables cookies and storage until consent is given. No advanced analytics or tracking technologies are detected, which aligns with privacy-conscious design. Performance is moderate with no obvious errors or broken elements. The site lacks advanced SEO optimizations and accessibility features, suggesting opportunities for technical improvements to enhance user experience and search visibility.
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.
