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

InterculturalLeaders.org is a non-profit digital platform established in 2013 as a partnership between the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC) and the BMW Group. It serves as a skills and knowledge-sharing hub for civil society organizations and young leaders focused on intercultural dialogue and addressing cross-cultural tensions. The platform offers networking, training, mentorship, and funding opportunities to its community, positioning itself as a niche but credible player in the non-profit sector dedicated to peacebuilding and social inclusion. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 5.1.19 and leverages common web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Hosting is managed via Quadranet, and the site enforces HTTPS with a Content Security Policy header. While the site is mobile-optimized and has a professional design, some accessibility and SEO features are basic. Analytics usage includes Google Analytics and Facebook SDK, indicating moderate user tracking without explicit cookie consent mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good baseline practices such as HTTPS enforcement and CAPTCHA on forms but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data shows privacy protection typical for non-profit organizations, with domain age consistent with the business history, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is a credible and professionally maintained platform with moderate technical maturity and security posture. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts privacy compliance scores. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy disclosures, and cookie consent would enhance 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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

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

InterculturalLeaders.org operates as a non-profit platform supported by the United Nations and BMW Group, targeting civil society organizations and young leaders engaged in intercultural dialogue and peacebuilding. Its business model revolves around providing a collaborative environment for skills sharing, mentorship, and access to funding opportunities. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its strong backing by reputable international organizations and its focused niche. Revenue streams are likely grant and partnership funded rather than commercial. The partnership ecosystem includes UNAOC and BMW Group, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active content updates, recent opportunities, and success stories. The platform's operations emphasize community engagement and capacity building within the intercultural leadership domain.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy header to upgrade insecure requests. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and other security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection indicates room for improvement. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and no vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Compliance gaps include missing privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit platform but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Add additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to the latest versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform version 5.1.19, utilizing a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3.5, Font Awesome, and jQuery UI for frontend functionality and styling. Google reCAPTCHA v2 is integrated for form protection, and analytics are managed via Google Analytics and Facebook SDK. Hosting is provided by Quadranet, as indicated by the nameservers. The site enforces HTTPS with a Content Security Policy header but lacks other advanced security headers. Performance is moderate, with a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal but present. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
