Kinder-Herzen-Glücklich machen e.V. is a German non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the healthy and happy development of children, particularly in kindergartens within the Hof and Wunsiedel regions. The organization focuses on aiding children from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, migrants, and those affected by crises such as the Ukraine war and the COVID-19 pandemic. Their efforts include supporting educators, running social and emotional development projects, and fostering community engagement through donations and volunteerism. The website reflects a well-established regional presence with clear communication and donation mechanisms. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as LayerSlider and Contact Form 7. It employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating basic privacy compliance. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, though some security headers are missing. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. The absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosures indicates room for improvement. The WHOIS data aligns with the website's legitimacy, showing consistent registration and no privacy protection, appropriate for a non-profit. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and focused on its charitable mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and improving accessibility features to strengthen compliance 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.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

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

The organization operates as a small regional non-profit focused on child welfare and education support. Its competitive advantage lies in long-term engagement with 21 project kindergartens and a clear mission addressing social challenges affecting children. The business model relies on donations, volunteer support, and community partnerships. Target customers include parents, educators, donors, and local stakeholders. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and responsiveness to current social issues like migration and pandemic impacts. The partnership ecosystem includes local kindergartens and social institutions. The website content and structure reflect a stable operation with a focus on transparency and community involvement.

Security posture

The current security maturity is basic to moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are publicly available, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. The use of standard WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to mitigate plugin-related vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but would benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest secure versions.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards and improve user experience.
  5. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using popular plugins such as LayerSlider and Contact Form 7. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates attention to privacy compliance. However, the absence of advanced SEO and accessibility features suggests opportunities for technical improvement. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain uses name servers from mm-com.de, indicating a professional hosting environment. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission but could be enhanced for security and 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.
