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

Frauen helfen Frauen e.V. Siegen is a small non-profit organization based in Germany dedicated to supporting women affected by sexualized violence and other challenges. The organization provides key services including a women's shelter (Frauenhaus), counseling services (Frauenberatungsstelle), and specialized support for sexualized violence. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets women in need of support in the Siegen region. It reflects a local community-focused mission with clear contact information and service descriptions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern themes and plugins such as Astra and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg. It employs SEO best practices with Yoast SEO and includes structured data for enhanced search engine understanding. The site is mobile-optimized and loads with moderate performance. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, and no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of security headers and incident response information suggests opportunities to strengthen the security posture. Privacy policies are present and appear comprehensive, indicating GDPR compliance. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for the non-profit organization, with a solid technical foundation and good content quality. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and incident response disclosures would enhance compliance and trust further.

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.

  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

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, focusing on women's support services in the Siegen area of Germany. Its market position is local and community-oriented, providing essential social services rather than commercial offerings. The business model is service-based, funded likely through public or private grants and donations. The website indicates active engagement with the community through events, podcasts, and online counseling. Partnerships with regional women's support networks are evident from linked domains and membership logos. The organization's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on sexualized violence and comprehensive support services. Growth indicators include active event promotion and online presence. The partnership ecosystem includes regional and national women's support organizations, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with a good SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communications. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact information indicates a gap in vulnerability disclosure readiness. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection practices. The site does not appear to collect excessive user data or employ extensive tracking, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit informational website but could be improved with additional headers and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to avoid potential vulnerabilities from outdated software.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic accessibility testing to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Astra theme and uses several plugins including Yoast SEO and Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg, indicating a modern and extensible technical stack. The site uses jQuery and standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS3). Google Maps integration is implemented with a privacy-conscious lazy load approach. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with no major bottlenecks detected in the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced privacy consent mechanisms. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
