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. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Cevi Gossau operates as a local non-profit youth organization with a clear community and religious mission. Their business model relies on community engagement and donations, supported by an online donation platform. The organization maintains an active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, enhancing outreach and engagement. The website content and structure indicate a focus on transparency and community trust, although formal security and privacy policies could be improved. The organization appears well-positioned within its niche, with no evident partnerships or subsidiaries disclosed on the site.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured and enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy documents are published, indicating limited formal security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking a cookie consent mechanism despite GDPR relevance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhancements to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a formal incident response policy and security policy to demonstrate security governance and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and several plugins including GiveWP for donations and Photo Gallery for media management. It uses jQuery and standard web technologies such as HTML5 and CSS3. The site loads external resources from Google APIs and WordPress-related domains. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and the site is mobile responsive. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO best practices. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML content. No advanced frameworks beyond WordPress and Elementor are detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is typical for a small community website with standard capabilities.
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.
