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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The foundation holds a stable market position in the non-profit sector, leveraging partnerships such as with Bankhaus Metzler to enhance its impact. Its business model revolves around project funding and donor engagement, targeting socially conscious individuals and organizations interested in child and youth welfare. The website content and navigation support clear communication of its mission and services, fostering trust and encouraging donations. The lack of advertising and minimal tracking indicates a focus on user privacy and ethical digital practices. Growth potential lies in expanding project visibility and enhancing digital engagement with stakeholders.
Security posture
The website's security posture is moderate. HTTPS is assumed but not explicitly confirmed. Cookie consent is implemented, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of visible security headers, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. To strengthen security maturity, the foundation should consider publishing a security policy, implementing security headers, and establishing clear incident response channels.
Recommendations
Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
Conduct regular security audits and update CMS and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and comply with standards.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a modern front-end stack with deferred JavaScript loading and responsive CSS stylesheets, indicating attention to performance and user experience. The CMS appears to be a professional enterprise solution, possibly Adobe Experience Manager, based on resource paths. Hosting on Colt's network suggests reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with adaptive images and viewport settings. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags. However, no advanced frameworks or analytics services were detected, and accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility compliance.
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.
