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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

GGG Benevol holds a strong market position as a local leader in volunteer coordination in Basel. Their business model is non-profit, focusing on social impact rather than revenue generation. Key services include volunteer matching, project support, and community engagement through events and newsletters. The organization leverages social media channels to enhance outreach and community building. The website content and structure support clear navigation and user engagement, targeting both volunteers and organizations. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with their non-profit status. Growth indicators include a diverse portfolio of social projects and active newsletter subscriptions. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes social media platforms and newsletter service providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of modern JavaScript and CMS frameworks suggests ongoing maintenance. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The minimal use of tracking and absence of cookies reflect good privacy practices. Security headers were not explicitly detected in the provided data, which could be enhanced. Overall, the security posture is solid for a non-profit organization but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Add a cookie consent mechanism or explicit statement confirming no cookies are used to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Enhance security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  5. Regularly review and update technical dependencies and CMS modules to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components and Mailfino for newsletter management. The HTML is valid and includes proper meta tags for SEO and mobile responsiveness. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility is basic but functional, with some ARIA roles and language attributes present. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site avoids heavy tracking and advertising scripts, focusing on minimal user data collection. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by implementing advanced security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
