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

3 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 21 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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 holds a significant market position within the non-profit and government sectors, leveraging a broad international presence and a network of regional offices and hubs. Its business model centers on political education and liberal policy promotion, supported by scholarships and international conferences. The organization maintains active social media profiles and a dedicated e-commerce platform for merchandise or related services. Growth indicators include extensive geographic coverage and multilingual content. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as shop.freiheit.org. Strategic observations highlight the foundation's commitment to liberal values and its role as a thought leader in democratic development.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and privacy-respecting analytics. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The foundation should consider publishing explicit security and incident response policies to enhance trust and preparedness. Overall, the security measures align well with best practices for non-profit organizations handling public information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security compliance.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility for security and privacy inquiries.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a solid technical foundation. It uses Matomo analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tools. The site includes preloaded fonts and optimized assets, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting a broad user base. SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for improvement in security transparency and incident response readiness.
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.
