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

JDC is a globally recognized Jewish humanitarian non-profit organization established in 1914, dedicated to saving lives and strengthening Jewish communities worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear messaging, donation capabilities, and active engagement through social media and crisis response initiatives. Technically, the site leverages WordPress and Frontity frameworks, integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, and employs HTTPS for secure communications. Security posture is solid with secure forms and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit privacy and cookie policies are not evident in the provided content. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification but does not detract from the overall legitimacy indicated by the website's professional design and external linkages.

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

4 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

JDC operates in the non-profit humanitarian sector with a focus on Jewish communities globally. Its business model relies on donations, fundraising events, and volunteer engagement. The organization maintains partnerships with related domains for archives, volunteer programs, and planned giving. The website targets donors, volunteers, and the global Jewish community, positioning itself as a leading entity in Jewish humanitarian aid. The digital infrastructure supports multi-channel marketing and analytics, indicating a strategic approach to donor engagement and impact measurement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure donation forms. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts suggest areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The organization should consider publishing explicit privacy, cookie, and security incident response policies to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to high for a non-profit organization.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide clear contact channels for security incident reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

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.
