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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

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 · found on this site
  • 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 foundation operates in the non-profit sector focusing on children with health challenges, relying primarily on donations and support actions. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing reputation, transparent donation processes, and partnerships such as with sternschnuppe.ch. The business model is donation-driven with services including dream fulfillment, leisure activities, and support projects. The target customers include affected children and their families, donors, and volunteers. Growth indicators include active social media presence and clear calls to action for donations. The partnership ecosystem supports multilingual outreach and payment facilitation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms, reducing spam and abuse risks. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Privacy compliance is partial, with cookie consent implemented but no explicit privacy policy or GDPR statements. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add terms of service and a security policy page to clarify user and organizational responsibilities.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to facilitate reporting and handling of security incidents.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, FontAwesome for icons, and Swiper.js for interactive carousels. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for visitor tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms. The site loads external resources from reputable CDNs and uses HTTPS exclusively, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further by adding ARIA attributes and meta tags. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the foundation's needs.
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.
