benevol Schaffhausen is a regional non-profit organization specializing in volunteer coordination and support services in the Schaffhausen region of Switzerland. As a member of the national benevol Schweiz network, it provides professional services and acts as a key contact point for volunteers, institutions, churches, associations, authorities, political bodies, and the general public. The website clearly communicates its mission and services, targeting individuals and organizations interested in volunteer engagement. The technical infrastructure of the website is modern and well-maintained, utilizing technologies such as Laravel Livewire, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and CookieYes for consent management. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare, leveraging security features like Turnstile captcha to mitigate bot traffic. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks publicly available security policies and incident response information, which could enhance trust and preparedness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's claims, reinforcing the legitimacy of the domain. Overall, benevol Schaffhausen presents a trustworthy and professional online presence suitable for its non-profit mission. Strategic improvements in publishing security policies and incident response contacts would further strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

4 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"

    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

benevol Schaffhausen holds a strong regional position as the specialist office for volunteer work in the Schaffhausen area, supported by its affiliation with benevol Schweiz. Its business model focuses on non-profit service delivery, facilitating volunteer engagement and providing consultation to various stakeholders. The organization benefits from clear contact channels and a professional web presence, which supports its outreach and service delivery. The use of modern web technologies and compliance with privacy regulations indicates a mature digital approach. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital engagement tools and enhancing transparency around security and data protection practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement, use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha, and a comprehensive cookie consent banner that categorizes cookies and respects user preferences. No critical security headers were detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header configurations. The absence of a published security policy and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating good operational security hygiene. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie management and privacy policy availability. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  3. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by detailing data retention policies and user rights related to personal data.

Notes

The website is built using a modern technology stack including Laravel Livewire for dynamic content, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics, and CookieYes for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts and uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and script optimization. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present, supporting inclusive design.

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.
