56/100

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

demch.co is a Ukrainian-based web development company specializing in creating websites and digital services for non-profit organizations and social change initiatives. With over 12 years of experience and more than 300 projects completed, the company positions itself as a trusted partner for NGOs, government agencies, and international organizations. Their key services include full-cycle website development, consulting, technical support, branding, design, and animation. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information, enhancing user trust and engagement. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and popular libraries like jQuery, TweenMax, and AOS for animations. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking, indicating a moderate level of user data collection. Hosting appears to be managed via NameCheap with custom DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended to enhance security posture. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, representing compliance gaps especially under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, the website is safe, professional, and trustworthy with a strong focus on serving the non-profit sector. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security hardening would further strengthen its position and reduce risk.

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

5 findings 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

demch.co operates in the technology sector with a niche focus on non-profit and social impact organizations in Ukraine. Its business model revolves around providing comprehensive web development and digital consulting services tailored to NGOs, government bodies, and advocacy groups. The company leverages its founder's extensive experience in social campaigns and advocacy to differentiate itself. Its portfolio includes partnerships with prominent Ukrainian ministries, courts, and international organizations, indicating strong market positioning and credibility. Revenue streams likely include project-based development, consulting fees, and ongoing technical support. The company maintains active social media presence and showcases a broad client base, signaling growth potential and a robust partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The security maturity of demch.co is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer lock status, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanism is evident. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces some privacy considerations. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities in the visible content. To improve, the company should implement recommended security headers, enable DNSSEC, publish privacy and cookie policies, and establish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement essential HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to provide a formal channel for vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, enhanced with libraries such as jQuery, TweenMax for animations, Rellax for parallax effects, AOS for scroll animations, and Slick Carousel for sliders. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site appears to be custom-developed without a CMS, hosted via NameCheap with custom DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and suitable for the target audience, though improvements in security configurations and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce technical risks.
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.
