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

Fondation Minkoff is a Swiss philanthropic foundation established in 2009, focusing on supporting projects in social action, culture, education, and scientific research. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, targeting non-profit organizations, students, researchers, and cultural actors. The business model is centered on philanthropy and financial support for general interest projects. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with performance optimization via WP Rocket. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and cookie policies present but no consent mechanism. Contact information is limited to a contact form, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website content, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

7 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
    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 foundation operates in the philanthropic non-profit sector in Switzerland, supporting diverse projects in humanitarian aid, culture, and education. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused support for impactful projects and collaborations with other foundations. The business model relies on donations and grants, targeting associations, students, and cultural institutions. The website indicates a small-sized organization with a clear mission and consistent branding. There is no evidence of commercial activities or revenue streams beyond philanthropy. The foundation maintains a professional online presence but could enhance transparency by providing more direct contact details and detailed policies.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable WordPress plugins for SEO and performance. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency in security matters. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers reduces attack surface but also limits user trust. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers, explicit security policies, and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Provide direct contact emails and phone numbers for better user trust and support.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature and maintainable technical stack. Performance is optimized with WP Rocket, and fonts are loaded from Google Fonts with preload hints. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. However, the lack of security headers and limited privacy compliance are technical gaps. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the foundation's mission but can be enhanced with improved security and privacy features.
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.
