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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Cordaid International operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on humanitarian and development aid. Its business model centers on supporting vulnerable populations affected by poverty and conflict. The organization leverages partnerships and digital tools to enhance outreach and impact. The website's content and structured data reinforce its market position as a credible international aid entity. The absence of explicit contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on informational content rather than direct sales or support. Analytics and marketing tools indicate a moderate level of digital maturity and audience engagement. The organization maintains transparency through privacy policies and cookie consent, aligning with regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and a security.txt file indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth and vulnerability disclosure readiness. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to build further trust. Overall, the site balances user privacy and security well but should consider publishing more detailed security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Increase visibility of contact information, including security contact channels, to support user trust and incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Gravity Forms, Yoast SEO, Cookiebot, and Google Tag Manager. The site uses multiple fonts preloaded for performance and employs structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and rich snippets. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with detailed cookie categorization and opt-in/out controls. Analytics tools include Google Analytics, Hotjar, and VWO for user behavior tracking and optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified in the HTML content.
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.
