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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Campact holds a leading position in the German non-profit activism sector, leveraging a large supporter base and diversified digital channels to drive political campaigns. Its business model relies on donations and grassroots engagement rather than commercial revenue. The organization demonstrates transparency in financing and governance, enhancing credibility. The ecosystem includes related subdomains for petitions, donations, newsletters, and blogging, indicating a well-structured digital strategy. Partnerships and social media presence further amplify its reach. Growth indicators include a large active user base and successful campaign outcomes. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit mission.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS and secure cookie settings. The use of Piwik PRO analytics with anonymization options and a consent management platform reflects GDPR compliance and privacy awareness. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the HTML content, representing an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Forms appear to be limited and likely secured, but explicit anti-CSRF measures are not visible. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which is common for non-profits but could be improved for transparency. Overall, the security posture is good but can benefit from additional hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security by ensuring anti-CSRF tokens and input validation are in place.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to comply with evolving regulations and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for search optimization and Leaflet.js for mapping features. It uses Piwik PRO for analytics and consent management, indicating a focus on privacy-compliant data collection. Image optimization and lazy loading are implemented via EWWW Image Optimizer, contributing to fast load times. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNS name servers suggest a stable hosting environment. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience and efficient campaign management.
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.
