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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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 organization operates in the non-profit sector focused on women's rights, counseling, and protection against violence. It holds a strong market position locally in Düsseldorf with a history of community engagement and partnerships, including cooperation with the police and government bodies. The business model is service-oriented, relying on donations and public funding, as indicated by the presence of donation information and public campaigns. The target audience is broad, encompassing all women and specific vulnerable groups. The website content and structure support outreach, education, and direct support services. There is no evidence of commercial activities or subsidiaries. The organization maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals such as long operational history and transparent contact information.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS as indicated by secure script loading, and uses cookie consent banners to comply with privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but privacy compliance is supported by consent mechanisms. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page suggests limited formal vulnerability management communication. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational site but could be enhanced by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and establishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update the CMS and third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the webEdition CMS platform, a less common but established content management system. It uses jQuery and slimbox2 for UI interactions and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Hosting is managed via domaincontrol.com DNS servers, indicating professional domain management. Performance is moderate with no explicit data on load times, and mobile optimization is basic but functional. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. The site lacks modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced performance optimizations but remains stable and functional. Technical risks include potential outdated CMS components and missing security headers, which should be addressed to maintain operational security and performance.
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.
