The Regine Sixt Children’s Aid Foundation, operating under the domain drying-little-tears.org, is a German non-profit organization focused on child welfare projects worldwide. Established in 2019 and backed by the parent company Sixt SE, the foundation runs over 400 projects in more than 65 countries, emphasizing education, healthcare, emergency aid, and social care. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting donors, partners, and beneficiaries interested in charitable child aid initiatives.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses modern tools such as Smart Slider 3, Google Analytics, and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting is via Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies.
From a security and compliance perspective, the site does not expose sensitive data and implements cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible privacy and terms of service pages. WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, allowing full content access. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in security headers and privacy documentation.
Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing security headers, and conducting regular security audits to maintain and enhance trust and compliance.

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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
The foundation holds a solid market position as a reputable non-profit supported by Sixt SE. Its business model relies on donations and partnerships to fund global child welfare projects. The website targets donors and stakeholders interested in social impact. The organization demonstrates growth through numerous projects and international reach. The partnership ecosystem includes its parent company and likely other charitable collaborators. The website content and structure support transparency and engagement, fostering donor confidence and operational credibility.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS and domain transfer protection. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could be improved. Cookie consent is managed via Usercentrics, indicating GDPR awareness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance compliance and transparency.
Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures.
Conduct regular security audits and update plugins/themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Smart Slider 3 for dynamic content. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure, providing scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is well implemented with meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The technical stack is current but requires ongoing maintenance to avoid technical debt and security 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.
