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)

      • 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 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';…
  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

The Evangelisch-reformierte Kirchgemeinde Zürich holds a significant position in Zurich's religious and social landscape, leveraging partnerships with organizations like Solidara and Haus der Diakonie to extend its community impact. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on spiritual engagement, social support, and cultural activities. The website highlights transparent resource use and community involvement, indicating a strong trust relationship with its audience. The presence of multiple social media channels and external links to partner sites suggests an integrated ecosystem supporting outreach and engagement. Growth indicators include innovative projects like Neo Paleo and digital content on YouTube, targeting younger demographics and fostering inclusivity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and public security or incident response policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. The use of Matomo Analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit organization but could be strengthened to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3 using the Uncode theme and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported CMS environment. It employs jQuery 3.7.1 and Matomo for analytics, reflecting a balance between functionality and privacy. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed achievable through optimization of images and scripts. The technical setup is robust but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements to reduce technical debt and future-proof the platform.
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.
