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

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

  2. Security headers

    • High

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 initiative occupies a niche in the charitable and non-profit sector, focusing on legacy giving and testament education. Its business model is informational and service-oriented, providing free resources to encourage charitable bequests. The presence of numerous well-known partner organizations strengthens its market position and trustworthiness. Revenue streams are likely indirect, possibly through partner donations or grants. The target audience is primarily German-speaking individuals planning their estates with a philanthropic intent. Growth indicators include active content updates, online events, and a newsletter. The partnership ecosystem is broad and diverse, covering health, environment, social causes, and education. Strategic observations suggest the initiative is well-positioned to expand its digital offerings and deepen engagement through personalized services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The use of Borlabs Cookie plugin indicates a proactive approach to privacy management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for its informational purpose but could benefit from formalizing security documentation and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance analytics transparency by clearly communicating data retention policies and user tracking details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. It uses jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive UI components and Vue.js within the cookie plugin for dynamic consent management. The hosting is managed by agenturserver, indicated by the nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading speed. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional and user-friendly experience. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security policies to reduce technical risks.
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.
