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

HELP UKRAINE ROMANIA is a small non-profit humanitarian aid organization focused on providing medical and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, operating a logistics hub in Chernivtsi. The organization collaborates with Ukrainian government authorities and volunteer business initiatives to coordinate aid transport and delivery. Their services include receiving aid requests, organizing logistics from Europe and worldwide, and partnering with major Ukrainian logistics companies for targeted aid distribution. The website is well-structured, multilingual, and provides clear contact information and official documentation links, enhancing trust and transparency. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. Hosting is via a Ukrainian registrar and hosting provider, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, no CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. SEO and accessibility are basic to good, but there is room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance gap, especially given the use of tracking technologies. No incident response or security policy information is published. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's mission and geographic focus, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and DNSSEC implementation to strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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.

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 organization positions itself as a critical humanitarian logistics hub supporting Ukraine during conflict, leveraging partnerships with government entities and established logistics companies. Its business model is non-profit, relying on donations and volunteer efforts. The target audience includes donors, humanitarian organizations, and aid recipients. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized NGOs such as Gift of the Givers. The website's transparency and official documentation support credibility. Growth indicators include multilingual support and active social media presence. Revenue streams are primarily donation-based, with financial aid instructions provided in multiple currencies. Strategic observations highlight the importance of government collaboration and logistics expertise in their operations.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is implemented, and domain transfer protection is enabled, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. The lack of published privacy and cookie policies, despite the use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager, indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No incident response contacts or security policies are visible, which may impact readiness for security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security culture appears basic but could be improved with formal policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and dedicated security contact channels.
  5. Review and ensure secure handling of forms and inputs, including anti-CSRF protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies and uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Hosting is provided by a Ukrainian registrar and hosting provider, with domain registration consistent with the organization's founding date. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO basics but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS usage. Performance is moderate, with no major technical debt visible. Opportunities exist to modernize with enhanced accessibility features and improved security configurations. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents a technical risk that should be addressed to improve resilience and 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.
