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

Association Luxembourg Alzheimer is a well-established non-profit organization based in Luxembourg, dedicated to supporting people affected by dementia and their families. The organization offers a comprehensive range of services including counseling, a 24/7 helpline, ambulatory care, day centers, and a specialized care home. Their website reflects a strong commitment to accessibility and user support, with multilingual options and detailed service information. The organization maintains an active presence on social media platforms such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, enhancing community engagement and outreach. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins like Yoast SEO and accessibility tools, ensuring good SEO and compliance with accessibility standards. The site uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though some improvements could be made in hosting transparency and performance metrics. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and provides a cookie consent mechanism with granular user control, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks published privacy policies, terms of service, and explicit security or incident response policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its mission, but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve compliance and user confidence.

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

10 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

  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. 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

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 Association Luxembourg Alzheimer occupies a niche healthcare and social support market in Luxembourg, focusing on dementia care. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offering, including ambulatory care, day centers, and a specialized care home, supported by a 24/7 helpline. The organization targets patients with dementia and their families, providing education and training programs. Revenue streams likely include donations, government funding, and service fees. The partnership with Fondation Alzheimer enhances fundraising capabilities. The organization's digital presence is mature, with multilingual support and active social media engagement, indicating a strategic approach to community outreach and awareness. Growth indicators include recent news updates and service expansions. The absence of privacy and security policies suggests an area for operational improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliance, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-aware tracking approach. However, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps and potential risk areas. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The site uses third-party scripts and plugins that should be regularly audited to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a non-profit healthcare organization but requires improvements in transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and publish incident response procedures and contact channels for security issues.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  5. Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, jQuery and Slick Slider for UI components, Leaflet.js for maps, and Alpine.js for reactive UI elements. Accessibility is enhanced by the Lightbulb Accessibility Plugin offering multiple user-friendly options. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Matomo for privacy-focused analytics.

No major technical debts or deprecated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
