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

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 occupies a niche in the non-profit sector focused on women's rights and support against sexualized violence. Its market position is local and specialized, serving the Bielefeld region with a clear mission and target audience. The business model is service-oriented, relying on donations and community support, as indicated by calls for donations and a Förderkreis (support circle). The website reflects a stable and consistent brand with trust signals such as partner logos and transparent contact details. The multilingual support and barrier-free approach indicate inclusivity and community engagement. There is no indication of commercial revenue streams or affiliate partnerships, emphasizing the non-profit nature. The presence of educational offerings and university collaboration suggests strategic partnerships and community integration.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring encrypted communication. It uses standard WordPress security practices but lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which is typical for small non-profits but represents an area for improvement. The contact forms are implemented via Contact Form 7, a widely used plugin with spam protection features. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The placeholder Google Analytics ID suggests incomplete analytics setup, which may affect privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve defense against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish an incident response or security contact page to improve transparency and readiness for security events.
  4. Replace the placeholder Google Analytics tracking ID with a valid one or remove it if not used to avoid privacy compliance issues.
  5. Regularly review and update plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7 plugins, indicating a standard and maintainable technology stack. The HTML and CSS are valid and modern, with responsive design and accessibility considerations evident. The site loads moderate performance resources, including images and video content, which are optimized for user experience. Hosting is likely provided by a German hosting provider using UI-DNS name servers, suitable for the target audience. The site uses JavaScript for UI interactions and analytics. There is no evidence of heavy technical debt or legacy code. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and implement a cookie consent mechanism to improve compliance and security posture.
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.
