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

Stiftung Ehrenkodex operates as a Swiss nonprofit foundation providing a certification and quality seal for nonprofit organizations with Christian values. Their service focuses on ensuring transparency, ethical governance, and effective use of donations. The organization is well-positioned in the Swiss nonprofit sector, leveraging academic models from the University of Basel to underpin their certification process. Their website reflects a professional and trustworthy image, targeting nonprofit organizations and donors seeking assurance of ethical practices. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics and Finsweet Cookie Consent for privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and accessible, with clear navigation and comprehensive content. Security measures such as HTTPS and standard security headers are in place, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly detailed. The security posture is strong with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well-handled with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is transparent and includes multiple channels, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site scores highly on content quality, technical implementation, security, privacy, and business credibility, making it a reliable and professional digital presence for the foundation. Strategically, the foundation should consider publishing explicit security and incident response policies to further enhance trust and compliance. Additionally, implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file would align with best practices. These steps would strengthen their security posture and demonstrate commitment to transparency and user protection.

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

4 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

  2. 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

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  3. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Business context

Business profile

Stiftung Ehrenkodex holds a niche position as a certifier of nonprofit organizations with a Christian ethos in Switzerland. Their competitive advantage lies in their academic foundation and comprehensive certification model that evaluates governance, transparency, and impact. Their business model revolves around certification fees and consulting services. The target customers are nonprofit organizations seeking credibility and donors requiring assurance. The foundation maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with numerous Swiss nonprofit organizations and Christian entities. Growth indicators include over 50 certified organizations and a significant annual donation volume. The website and published reports reflect a mature and professional operation with clear strategic focus on quality assurance and ethical standards.

Security posture

The foundation demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, standard security headers implemented, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The contact forms are secured with required fields, and cookie consent is actively managed. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents a compliance gap. There is no public data protection officer contact, which could be improved for GDPR transparency. Overall, the security culture appears positive but could benefit from formalized policies and public disclosures to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Develop and publicize an incident response plan and contact channels for security incidents.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and host a security.txt file at the root domain.
  4. Provide clear data protection officer contact information to comply with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Continue to monitor and update cookie consent mechanisms to maintain compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow, leveraging modern front-end technologies and hosted on Webflow's CDN infrastructure, ensuring fast load times and high availability. Integration with Google Tag Manager enables flexible analytics and marketing tracking. The use of Finsweet Cookie Consent indicates attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with well-structured HTML and CSS. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience with minimal technical debt. Opportunities exist to enhance technical documentation around security and compliance to further reduce operational 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.
