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.

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.

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.

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 organization holds a strong regional position with over six decades of history and diocesan backing, leveraging volunteer engagement and donations as its primary revenue streams. Its business model is focused on fundraising and awareness for development projects worldwide. The presence of the Spendengütesiegel (donation quality seal) and transparent annual reports enhance donor trust. The website's partnership with the Austrian Spendengütesiegel organization indicates a commitment to transparency and quality. The target audience includes parish communities, donors, and volunteers, with communications tailored to these groups. The organization maintains a modest size but a significant impact within its sector. The digital presence supports its mission effectively, though opportunities exist to expand digital marketing and analytics capabilities.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy and GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or security policy information, which could be beneficial for transparency and preparedness. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but could enhance its security maturity by adopting additional best practices and publishing incident response contacts.
Recommendations
Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Consider integrating privacy-focused analytics to gain insights while maintaining user privacy.
Enhance digital marketing and SEO efforts to broaden reach and donor engagement.

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.
