Hilfe von Haus zu Haus e.V. is a well-established local non-profit organization based in Germany, focused on providing neighborhood assistance primarily to elderly, sick, and families with young children. Founded in 2003, the organization operates with a community-centric approach, offering services such as companionship, support for daily activities, and social engagement. Their market position is strong within the local community, supported by over 105 volunteers and a structured leadership team. The website reflects a clear mission and transparent communication with the public, including membership and donation options. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating standard plugins like Contact Form 7 for communication and Borlabs Cookie for privacy compliance. The site is hosted on kasserver.com, with HTTPS enabled and basic security measures such as hCaptcha for spam prevention. Performance and mobile optimization are adequate, though some improvements in security headers and incident response documentation could enhance the security posture. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good privacy compliance with visible privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The domain WHOIS data aligns with the organization's history, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its community purpose effectively. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy or incident response plan, and considering a security.txt file to improve transparency and 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.

Priority findings

10 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: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB 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
    • 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 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 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

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 as a small-sized non-profit entity serving the Höri peninsula community in Germany. Its business model relies on volunteer engagement, membership fees, and donations, with a focus on social care and community support. The target audience includes elderly individuals, families, and caregivers needing assistance. The website supports growth through clear communication channels and community events. Partnerships with local foundations like the Friederikenstiftung and Isolde Kraft-Stiftung enhance its resource base. The organization maintains a consistent brand and trust signals such as tax-deductible membership and donation receipts, which strengthen its credibility and community standing.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate, with HTTPS enforced and spam protection via hCaptcha. Privacy compliance is well addressed through Borlabs Cookie and explicit consent on contact forms. However, the absence of security headers and incident response information indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure channel, which are important for transparency and rapid incident handling. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhanced best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic performance optimization to improve user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature and widely supported CMS platform (WordPress) with the Divi theme, ensuring flexibility and ease of content management. The tech stack includes Contact Form 7 for forms, hCaptcha for spam prevention, and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Hosting is provided by kasserver.com, a known hosting provider. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The technical infrastructure is suitable for the organization's scale and needs but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
