High risk. 10 critical or high findings in Network security, Security headers and 2 other checks.

Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The Missionaries of Charity website serves as an informational platform for the well-established non-profit organization founded by Mother Teresa. It highlights the organization's charitable works, volunteering opportunities, and religious vocation information. The website is modest in content quality and design, focusing on delivering core information with basic navigation and mobile responsiveness. Technically, it employs common front-end libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted on Bluehost, but lacks advanced CMS or modern frameworks. Security posture is moderate with domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no explicit privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating room for compliance improvements. Overall, the site is safe and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy disclosures.

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

10 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  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.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…
  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

Missionaries of Charity operates as a non-profit religious organization with a global reputation, targeting general audiences interested in charitable works and religious vocations. The business model revolves around donations, volunteering, and religious service. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the organization's history, reinforcing legitimacy. The website's partner domain motherteresa.org is linked, indicating a related entity. The absence of commercial advertising or tracking suggests a focus on mission over monetization. Growth indicators are not evident from the site content, but the organization's longstanding presence and registered charity status provide credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS likely enabled (not explicitly confirmed), domain transfer lock, and reputable hosting. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and privacy policies indicates gaps in security best practices and compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement DNSSEC, security headers, and privacy compliance measures to enhance trust and protection.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Add clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional front-end stack with Bootstrap, jQuery, and various UI libraries, hosted on Bluehost. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced CMS or modern JavaScript frameworks. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. The HTML is valid and structured with basic SEO meta tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and enhanced SEO metadata. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to improve user experience and security.
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.
