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

Make-A-Wish Nederland is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of children aged 3 to 18 with serious or life-threatening illnesses. The organization operates primarily within the Netherlands and has been active since 2011. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting donors, volunteers, and families of children in need. The site provides clear information about their mission and services, supported by a modern technical infrastructure including Cookiebot for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The use of Craft CMS is inferred from cookie names, indicating a robust content management system. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protections in place, though some security headers could be explicitly implemented. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive cookie policy and consent mechanism. However, contact information and formal security policies are not explicitly published, which could be improved to enhance trust and transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

The organization holds a strong position in the Dutch non-profit sector focused on children's welfare. Their business model revolves around charitable donations and wish fulfillment services. The website's integration with multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests active engagement in donor outreach and campaign effectiveness measurement. The presence of a related domain (makeawishcometrue.nl) indicates a broader partnership or campaign network. The lack of explicit contact details on the main site may reflect a focus on online engagement rather than direct contact. The organization's longevity and domain age support its credibility and operational stability.

Security posture

Make-A-Wish Nederland demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of security cookies like CSRF tokens. Cookie consent is managed professionally via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy in the analyzed content suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The lack of published incident response or security policies limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security documentation and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Consider publishing clear contact information to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Craft CMS, Cloudflare DNS, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is optimized for mobile devices and has good SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with preloading of key assets and asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility is basic but present. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools indicates a data-driven approach to user engagement. Hosting details are not explicit but Cloudflare DNS suggests a reliable infrastructure. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for further optimization and security hardening.
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.
