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

The Eesti Evangeelne Luterlik Kirik (Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church) operates a well-structured official website providing comprehensive information about the church's history, organization, clergy, and community activities. The site targets church members and the Estonian public, offering religious content, news, and contact details. The website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and includes integrations such as Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for user engagement and tracking. While the site is professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing advanced security headers and DNSSEC. The domain is well-established since 2010, registered through a reputable Estonian registrar, aligning with the church's official status. Overall, the website is credible and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

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

The Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church holds a significant position as a major religious institution in Estonia, serving a medium-sized community with a non-profit model focused on spiritual services and community engagement. The website supports this by providing access to religious texts, event information, and organizational details. Partnerships with related media and mission sites strengthen its ecosystem. The church's digital presence is stable, with consistent branding and a clear target audience. Growth opportunities include expanding digital outreach and improving compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security operations. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries visibly, but regular updates and security best practices should be enforced to maintain integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to secure DNS resolution.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS platform with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for analytics and social media engagement. The site loads moderately fast with a clean layout and accessible navigation. However, it lacks advanced accessibility features and SEO optimizations beyond basic meta tags. The hosting is provided by Zone Media OÜ, a known Estonian registrar and hosting provider. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by modernizing security configurations and enhancing privacy compliance.
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.
