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

Albert Schweitzer Stiftung für unsere Mitwelt is a German non-profit organization dedicated to animal welfare, specifically targeting the abolition of factory farming. The website serves as an educational and advocacy platform, providing detailed information on animal species affected by intensive farming, current campaigns, and ways for the public to engage and support the cause. The organization maintains a strong presence on multiple social media platforms and offers newsletters to keep supporters informed. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap 5.2, Select2, and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and CleverReach for newsletters. Hosting appears to be on Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response plan are not evident. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is strong with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with the organization's mission. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers is mitigated by a contact form. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and 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. 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

  2. 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 Albert Schweitzer Stiftung operates as a medium-sized non-profit focused on animal welfare and sustainability in Germany. Its market positioning is strong within the NGO sector, leveraging educational content, campaigns, and petitions to influence public opinion and policy. The business model relies on donations, advocacy, and public engagement. Key services include information dissemination, campaign management, and community mobilization. The organization benefits from a consistent brand and a comprehensive digital presence, including social media and newsletter outreach. Growth indicators include active campaigns and recent news updates. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and third-party marketing and analytics providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of third-party analytics and tracking is managed with user consent. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. No published security policy or incident response contact is available, which could impact incident handling readiness. There are no indications of vulnerabilities or malicious content. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but further improvements in transparency and security documentation are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and responsive design framework (Bootstrap 5.2) and enhanced UI components (Select2). It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and cookie consent, all loaded asynchronously to optimize performance. Hosting on AWS DNS servers suggests reliable infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple external resources. No CMS was explicitly detected, indicating a custom or less common platform. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and improving documentation would enhance the technical maturity.
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.
