Risk levelHigh

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

The website represents the Σύνδεσμος Προστασίας της Ψυχικής Υγείας, a non-profit organization based in Cyprus focused on mental health advocacy, stigma reduction, and psychosocial support. The organization operates on a volunteer basis and has a history dating back to 1986. The website is built on WordPress with Elementor, hosted on Hostgator, and presents a professional and consistent brand image with active social media channels. Technically, the site is moderately performant and mobile-optimized, though some accessibility and SEO improvements are possible. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and some security headers implied, but lacks explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures. The domain WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, notably a future creation date, which raises questions about domain registration history but does not negate the legitimacy of the organization itself. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, with room for enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

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 · found on this site
  • 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 is positioned as a local non-profit NGO in Cyprus, targeting individuals with mental health challenges and the broader community. Its business model is volunteer-driven with a focus on social inclusion and rights advocacy. The website highlights key services such as stigma reduction campaigns, psychosocial support, and community integration activities. The presence of event portfolios and social media engagement indicates active community involvement. No commercial or revenue-generating activities are evident. The lack of detailed business or financial disclosures is typical for NGOs. The domain registration anomaly suggests a possible recent domain acquisition or renewal, which should be monitored for continuity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has a domain status of clientTransferProhibited, indicating some domain security controls. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. There is no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits transparency for security researchers. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML and uses standard WordPress and Elementor plugins, which should be kept updated to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers explicitly.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Improve GDPR compliance transparency by providing detailed privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building, which provides flexibility and ease of content management. The hosting is provided by Hostgator, a reputable provider. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile responsive, though some CSS and inline styles could be optimized further. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social sharing. The technical stack is standard for NGO websites, with no advanced custom frameworks detected. There is an opportunity to improve performance and security headers to align with best practices.
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.
