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

ILGA World is a well-established global non-profit organization advocating for the human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and intersex people worldwide. Founded in 1978, it operates as a federation of over 2,000 member organizations across 170 countries, providing advocacy, research, and grassroots support. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, strong branding, and clear navigation targeting activists, civil society, and human rights stakeholders. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO, accessibility, and user engagement. It uses Cloudflare DNS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and cookie consent mechanisms in place. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected, indicating areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR-aligned consent mechanisms. Overall, ILGA World’s website is trustworthy, professional, and secure, supporting its mission effectively. Strategic recommendations include enhancing DNS security, publishing explicit security policies, and implementing security.txt or vulnerability disclosure channels to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

3 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

  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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ILGA World holds a leading position in the global LGBTI human rights advocacy sector, leveraging a large network of member organizations and regional partners. Its business model is non-profit and membership-based, with revenue streams likely from donations, memberships, and grants. The organization targets LGBTI communities, activists, and international human rights bodies. The website supports this ecosystem with resources, news, events, and membership engagement tools. Partnerships with regional ILGA branches and dedicated conference and database sites indicate a well-structured ecosystem. The organization demonstrates growth and influence through comprehensive content and active social media channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. The domain is protected against unauthorized transfers with clientTransferProhibited status. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no HTTP security headers were observed, which are recommended best practices. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which could improve transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced with additional DNS and header configurations and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  4. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
