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, primarily through a logistics hub in Chernivtsi. The organization collaborates with Ukrainian government bodies, local 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 multilingual and targets donors, volunteers, and aid recipients. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. Hosting is provided by Mirohost, and the site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices. However, there is no detected CMS or advanced frameworks. Performance is moderate, and accessibility is basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, which is a compliance gap. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The WHOIS data is consistent with the organization's founding date and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security practices to better protect users and build trust.

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.

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 organization operates in the humanitarian non-profit sector, focusing on aid logistics for Ukraine. Its market position is that of a volunteer-driven, government-supported logistics hub. The business model relies on donations and partnerships with logistics companies and government entities. Key services include aid request management, logistics coordination, and delivery within Ukraine. The target audience includes donors, humanitarian organizations, and aid recipients. Partnerships with recognized organizations like Gift of the Givers enhance credibility. The website content and structure indicate a small-sized organization founded in 2022, with a clear mission and operational focus. Growth indicators include active social media presence and official government collaboration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces overall security. Lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, which could delay response to security issues. The use of Google Analytics introduces user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, posing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and implement a cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Review and minimize user tracking practices or provide clear user consent options to enhance privacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies and includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is via Mirohost, with domain nameservers pointing accordingly. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a likely custom or static site. Performance is moderate, with no major technical debt visible. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents a technical risk. The WHOIS data is consistent and domain age matches the organization's timeline. Overall, the technical infrastructure is adequate but could benefit from modern security enhancements and formalized privacy compliance.
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.
