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

Licht im Osten Schweiz is a well-established non-profit organization founded in 1920, dedicated to providing humanitarian aid and missionary support in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The organization focuses on alleviating material, medical, and spiritual needs through various projects including child sponsorship, aid distribution, and community development. Their market position is strong within the charitable sector, supported by a consistent brand and clear communication of their mission and services. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Adobe Typekit fonts. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure suitable for their audience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive GDPR privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are absent despite the use of tracking scripts. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are evident. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with high trustworthiness and professionalism. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and transparency policies would enhance their security posture and compliance standing.

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. 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  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

Licht im Osten Schweiz operates as a medium-sized non-profit focused on missions and humanitarian aid in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Their competitive advantage lies in their long history, established partnerships, and clear mission focus. Revenue streams likely include donations, sponsorships, and fundraising campaigns. The target customer segments are donors, volunteers, and supporters interested in Christian mission work and charitable aid. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and ongoing project updates. The organization maintains a transparent partnership ecosystem and demonstrates strategic clarity in its operations and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA for form protection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The lack of explicit security policies and incident response contact channels indicates room for improvement in organizational security culture and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Compliance with GDPR is evident through the privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which could pose regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern front-end technologies such as jQuery and Adobe Typekit fonts. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. Hosting is provided via Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features. Meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) are properly implemented for SEO and rich results. There is no evidence of technical debt or legacy technologies, indicating a well-maintained and modern technical infrastructure.
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.
