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

Amnesty International Germany operates a comprehensive website focused on human rights advocacy and activism. The organization is positioned as the largest global human rights movement, targeting a broad audience interested in social justice and human rights. The website provides information about activism opportunities both locally and online, reflecting a non-profit business model centered on membership and campaign engagement. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and third-party tools such as Cookiebot for consent management and Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing and analytics. The infrastructure indicates a mature digital presence with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented; however, the absence of explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, with a solid foundation for further enhancements in security 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

2 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Amnesty International Germany holds a strong market position as a leading non-profit in human rights advocacy. Its business model relies on volunteer engagement, activism campaigns, and membership support. The website's integration with a partner domain for donations (helfen.amnesty.de) indicates a structured ecosystem for fundraising. The use of advanced analytics and A/B testing tools demonstrates a data-driven approach to user engagement and conversion optimization. The organization targets a general audience interested in social justice, with content primarily in German. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information on the site is typical for non-profits but could be enhanced for transparency. The consistent branding and professional content support high trustworthiness and credibility in the sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with basic security and privacy standards. The use of third-party analytics and A/B testing tools is well managed without exposing sensitive data in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed credentials, and the site does not appear to be blocked or challenged by WAFs. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently on the website.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security posture.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain compliance and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a robust content management framework. It uses JavaScript libraries and integrates third-party services such as Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent, Visual Website Optimizer for A/B testing, and eTracker for analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive meta tags and preloaded fonts for performance. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of multiple external domains for scripts and analytics is noted. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and deferred cookie consent scripts. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of security headers and incomplete privacy documentation represent areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
