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

The Deutsch-Ukrainische Gesellschaft (DUG) is a small non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and deepening German-Ukrainian relations across politics, science, culture, and civil society. The organization offers expert dialogues, publications, cultural events, and exchange programs to promote mutual understanding and support Ukraine's integration into European and Euro-Atlantic structures. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting stakeholders interested in German-Ukrainian cooperation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and GDPR Cookie Compliance, ensuring good SEO and privacy compliance. The site uses HTTPS with Google reCAPTCHA for form security and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates solid practices including HTTPS enforcement and GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, and security headers are not detected, suggesting room for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were found. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations, serving its niche audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers and transparency around security policies would further strengthen its posture.

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. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…
  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention deutsch-ukrainische-gesellschaft.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for deutsch-ukrainische-gesellschaft.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

DUG occupies a niche position as a non-profit organization focused on German-Ukrainian relations, leveraging academic, cultural, and political networks. Its competitive advantage lies in its expert team and targeted programs that foster dialogue and exchange. The business model is based on membership, donations, and event-driven engagement. The organization targets policymakers, academics, cultural actors, and civil society members interested in Ukraine's European integration and cultural promotion. Growth indicators include active publication schedules and event hosting. Partnerships appear limited to related cultural and academic entities, with no commercial subsidiaries or parent companies identified.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS, reCAPTCHA, and GDPR cookie compliance implemented. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent compliance gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site uses secure forms but could improve by publishing incident response channels and adopting additional security headers. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could be enhanced to mitigate emerging threats and demonstrate stronger security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contact information.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and privacy officer contact details.
  5. Conduct periodic security awareness training for team members to strengthen security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, Contact Form 7 for forms, Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and GDPR Cookie Compliance for privacy. Hosting is via rzone.de name servers, indicating a standard hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The site uses Swiper.js for interactive sliders and jQuery for scripting. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of explicit security headers and limited incident response information suggest areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
