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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization leverages a content-driven model to engage and inform its audience, supported by fundraising through donation links. Its partnership ecosystem includes official Caritas domains and Catholic Church-related sites, enhancing credibility. The site targets a broad demographic interested in social justice and Catholic charity work. Growth indicators include active blog updates and social media presence. The business model is non-profit, focusing on advocacy and community engagement rather than commercial revenue streams.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks published security policies or incident response information, which could improve transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics respects privacy better than many alternatives. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the content or WHOIS data. Security headers could be improved to harden defenses against common web attacks.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
Maintain transparency on data retention and privacy practices beyond cookie consent.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The site uses a modern WordPress CMS with popular libraries like Bootstrap, jQuery, Font Awesome, and Animate.css, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and asynchronous analytics scripts. SEO is well supported by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tools. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility can be improved.
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.
