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

Gut Königsmühle is a German non-profit initiative under the help and hope Stiftung focused on building a new hostel for children and youth to foster educational and social inclusion. The website serves as a donation campaign platform highlighting the project's goals, costs, and benefits for disadvantaged children and youth in Dortmund. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins like Elementor and Rank Math PRO, optimized for SEO and performance with caching and lazy loading. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and some best practices, but lacks comprehensive security headers and formal policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie consent mechanism but no visible privacy or terms pages. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe, targeting donors and community supporters. Strategic improvements include adding privacy and security policies, enhancing contact transparency, and strengthening security headers.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 positions itself uniquely in Dortmund as the only group accommodation offering integrated pedagogical programs to promote equal opportunities for disadvantaged youth. Its business model relies on fundraising from private donors, companies, and foundations, with a clear focus on social impact and community building. The partnership with help and hope Stiftung and support from Aktion Mensch e.V. indicate a strong network. The website content and structured data reflect a consistent brand and mission. Growth potential lies in expanding donor base and awareness through digital channels.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and reputable hosting name servers, with no detected malware or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap for transparency and readiness. The use of popular WordPress plugins requires regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be improved with formal policies and enhanced headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and transparency.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for better user trust and support.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to reduce security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using Elementor for page building and Rank Math PRO for SEO optimization. WP Rocket is used for caching and lazy loading, enhancing performance. The site is mobile optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy (domaincontrol.com name servers). Performance is moderate with good SEO metadata. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
