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

The Fachkommission Internet (FK Internet) website serves as an informational and support platform for the German section of Amnesty International, focusing on IT-related services such as webhosting, email, cloud storage, and intranet support. The organization operates as a small, volunteer-driven non-profit entity providing specialized IT assistance to Amnesty International groups and districts in Germany. The website is built on WordPress and leverages a variety of plugins and modern web technologies to deliver content and services effectively. Hosting is provided by Manitu, a reputable German hosting provider, which aligns with the organization's regional focus. From a technical perspective, the site demonstrates a moderate level of digital maturity with a modern tech stack, responsive design, and active content updates. However, there is room for improvement in areas such as security headers implementation and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance. The absence of explicit terms of service and vulnerability disclosure pages suggests potential gaps in formal security and compliance documentation. Security posture is generally good, with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site does not exhibit signs of malicious activity or phishing. Privacy compliance is supported by the presence of a privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. Contact information is available primarily via email and contact forms, but no phone numbers or physical addresses are prominently displayed. Overall, FK Internet presents a trustworthy and professional online presence consistent with its non-profit mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance with cookie consent, implementing security headers, and publishing formal security policies to strengthen trust and compliance further.

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

7 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. 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"

    • 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

FK Internet occupies a niche position as an IT support group within Amnesty International Germany, focusing on providing essential digital services to internal groups and districts. Its business model is non-commercial and volunteer-based, emphasizing service and support rather than revenue generation. The organization benefits from strong brand association with Amnesty International, which enhances credibility and trust. The website's content and service offerings are tailored to a specialized audience of Amnesty members and internet coordinators, indicating a focused target segment. The active publication of service status updates and technical news reflects a commitment to transparency and user engagement. Partnerships with Amnesty International domains and hosting by a German provider support operational stability and regional relevance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of up-to-date WordPress core and plugins suggests ongoing maintenance, though explicit security headers are not detected, representing an area for enhancement. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security contact channels indicates limited formal incident response readiness. No signs of malware, phishing, or other security threats were found. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but the lack of cookie consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but would benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide dedicated security contact channels to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Consider adding terms of service and data protection officer contact information to strengthen compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing a range of plugins including SearchWP Live Ajax Search, Easy Fancybox, TablePress, and Glossary by Codeat Premium, indicating a feature-rich and interactive platform. The presence of FontAwesome Pro and Leaflet.js suggests attention to UI/UX and mapping capabilities. Hosting is managed by Manitu, a German hosting provider, which aligns with the site's regional focus. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic but present through meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and CSS techniques, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the site's functional and content needs effectively.
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.
