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

Help Ukraine in Switzerland is a small non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the Ukrainian community in Switzerland and providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The organization focuses on procuring medical supplies, civil protection equipment, and food aid, operating a warehouse in Vevey, Switzerland. Their digital presence is built on WordPress with integrated donation capabilities via Stripe, and they maintain active social media channels to engage donors and volunteers. The website is professionally designed with good content relevance and clear navigation, targeting donors and the Ukrainian diaspora. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and plugins, but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for compliance. Security posture is good with HTTPS and secure payment integration, though some security headers could be improved. WHOIS data aligns well with the organization's claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional but could enhance privacy compliance and 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. 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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 occupies a niche humanitarian aid market focused on Ukraine support within Switzerland. It leverages partnerships with local diaspora groups and corporate partners like Nestle for logistics. The business model is donation-driven, supported by an integrated payment system and multilingual content to reach a broad audience. The presence of partner logos and social media links indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include active content updates and community engagement. The organization maintains a clear mission with low bureaucracy and direct aid delivery, positioning it as a reliable and efficient non-profit in its sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and payment processing is securely handled via Stripe. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could enhance security readiness. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's size and scope but should be enhanced to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, and various plugins like Give for donations and TranslatePress for multilingual support. It integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and Stripe for payment processing. The site uses WPBakery Page Builder for layout and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. There is no indication of hosting provider from the HTML content. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce risks and enhance trust.
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.
