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.
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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

Business context
Business profile
GFF operates primarily as a non-profit legal advocacy group, leveraging strategic court cases to protect and advance civil rights in Germany. Its revenue streams are mainly from donations and memberships, facilitated by integrated payment widgets. The organization maintains a strong digital presence with multiple social media channels and related projects such as podcasts and user rights centers. The market positioning is niche but influential within the human rights and legal advocacy community. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and consistent domain registration data support legitimacy. The organization’s transparency and public engagement through press releases and events further enhance credibility.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, indicating good baseline security. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The donation form uses a reputable third-party service, reducing direct payment security risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan to increase transparency and preparedness.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
Consider integrating a cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance and user privacy control.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript, CSS, and SVG icons, and integrates third-party donation widgets (Twingle). The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears stable with INWX as registrar, though no explicit CMS was detected. Performance is moderate, likely due to image sizes and external scripts. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation and content sections. There is room for technical improvements in security headers and DNS configuration. Overall, the technical implementation supports the organization's mission effectively.
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.
