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

Haus der Diakonie is a non-profit community project based in Switzerland focused on repurposing the Kirchgemeindehaus Wipkingen into a center for diaconal social services and community engagement. The website serves as an informational platform for the project, showcasing testimonials, project updates, and contact information. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins and frameworks, offering a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks advanced security headers and vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally presented, though it could improve privacy and security transparency.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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 · found on this site
  • 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 project targets local community members and social service beneficiaries, positioning itself as a key social infrastructure within the church community in Zurich. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on social impact rather than revenue generation. The website reflects transparency and community involvement through testimonials and detailed project descriptions. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit nature. Growth indicators include ongoing construction and planned reopening in 2027, with active community participation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating baseline compliance with privacy regulations. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced HTTP security headers. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could hinder responsible vulnerability reporting. The use of third-party plugins necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by adopting best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Add advanced HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using WPBakery Page Builder and several plugins including Ultimate VC Addons and Responsive Lightbox. It uses jQuery and other standard JavaScript libraries. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism powered by the Cookie Law Info plugin and uses Matomo for analytics. Performance is moderate with some heavy images but generally good mobile responsiveness. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information and advanced security headers. There is room for modernization and performance optimization, especially in accessibility and SEO.
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.
