Risk levelMedium

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

Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII is a well-established international non-profit organization founded in 1968, dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations such as the poor, marginalized, and abandoned children through various social initiatives including family homes and therapeutic communities. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and active engagement channels for donations and volunteering. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and tracking tools, offering a good user experience and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, though some security headers and policies could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration insights, but the overall trustworthiness and professionalism of the site indicate legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing privacy and incident response policies, and improving accessibility 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. 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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 21 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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 with a focus on social welfare and humanitarian aid. Its business model relies on donations, fundraising campaigns, and volunteer involvement. The website targets donors, volunteers, and individuals seeking social support, positioning itself as a trusted and established charity with a broad international footprint. The presence of dedicated fundraising subdomains and campaigns indicates a structured approach to revenue generation and community engagement. The organization benefits from consistent branding and high-quality content, reinforcing its market position. Opportunities exist to expand transparency around privacy and security policies to further strengthen donor confidence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting awareness of privacy and security best practices. Use of security plugins to prevent user enumeration and the absence of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, suitable for a non-profit but with potential to enhance defenses and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy, security, and incident response policies accessible from the website footer or dedicated pages.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focusing on form inputs and third-party integrations.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Increase transparency by providing verified contact emails and phone numbers for organizational and security inquiries.

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.
