Licht ins Dunkel is a well-established Austrian non-profit organization dedicated to promoting social inclusion and supporting families and individuals with disabilities. With over 50 years of history, the organization operates primarily through charitable donations and project funding to foster societal cohesion and provide immediate financial assistance. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy presence, featuring comprehensive content and clear navigation tailored to its target audience of vulnerable groups and supporting entities in Austria. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript frameworks and privacy-conscious analytics, ensuring a good user experience across devices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and privacy-respecting analytics, though improvements can be made by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and implementing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the organization's legitimacy and long-standing presence.

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.

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

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 holds a strong market position as a unique European charity focused on inclusion, supported by partnerships with major Austrian entities such as ORF and A1. Its business model relies on donations and project funding, targeting families, individuals with disabilities, and social organizations. The website's content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with clear calls to action for donations and support. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include active project funding and community engagement through newsletters and social media. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on transparency and expanding digital engagement.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics configuration (Matomo with DoNotTrack and cookie disabling). However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for enhancement. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from adopting additional best practices to strengthen defense and compliance.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with a custom theme and uses Alpine.js for interactivity and Matomo for analytics, configured with privacy in mind. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS uses easyname.eu nameservers. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though enabling DNSSEC and security headers would improve overall security posture. The site uses structured navigation and semantic HTML, contributing to a positive user experience and search engine visibility.
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.
