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

The website 'Reclaim Our Civil Space' is a non-profit advocacy platform focused on empowering and supporting civil society organizations in Central and South-eastern Europe. It operates as a regional network addressing democratic backsliding and shrinking civic space, collaborating with partners across multiple countries. The site is built on Drupal 9 and employs Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The content is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, targeting NGOs, activists, and the general public interested in civil rights and democracy. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies, as well as lack of direct contact information, limits its compliance and trustworthiness aspects. Security headers and incident response details are also missing, which could expose the site to risks. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security posture to enhance trust and resilience.

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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

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 positions itself as an essential non-profit entity within the civil society sector, focusing on advocacy and support for NGOs in a politically sensitive region. Its business model revolves around collaboration and empowerment rather than commercial activities. The website reflects a consistent brand and professional content quality, with a clear target audience of civil society actors and supporters. The use of Drupal CMS and regional WHOIS registration aligns with its operational scope. However, the lack of detailed business registration data and direct contact channels may hinder transparency. The partnership ecosystem is implied but not explicitly detailed on the site. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not publicly disclosed, typical for non-profit entities.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled (implied by canonical URLs) but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which is a gap in security readiness. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no explicit privacy controls or cookie consent mechanisms are evident. Forms are present but no details on secure handling or anti-CSRF measures are visible. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, privacy policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Include direct contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses SVG graphics and Google Tag Manager for analytics, reflecting a contemporary tech stack. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO meta tags including Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading. However, no explicit hosting provider information is available. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms, which are technical debt areas. The HTML is well-structured and uses standard CSS components from Drupal core and custom themes. Overall, the technical infrastructure is sound but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
