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

The Münchner Flüchtlingsrat is a well-established non-profit organization based in Munich, Germany, dedicated to supporting refugees and migrants through advice, advocacy, and community engagement. With over 30 years of history, it serves as a platform for information exchange and political lobbying to protect the rights of displaced persons. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting refugees, volunteers, and supporters with clear service offerings including asylum procedure advice, housing assistance, and educational events. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with the Elementor page builder, leveraging modern web technologies and libraries such as jQuery and Bootstrap. It implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, and integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent management. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected and could be improved. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Privacy compliance is strong with a detailed privacy policy and cookie management. Business credibility is supported by transparent contact information and active content updates. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a solid security posture and compliance framework. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, maintaining up-to-date software, and considering publishing an incident response policy to further strengthen trust and resilience.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Business profile

Münchner Flüchtlingsrat occupies a niche non-profit sector focused on refugee and migrant support in Munich. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence, community trust, and comprehensive service offerings including legal advice, housing support, and volunteer coordination. The organization relies on donations and memberships as revenue streams, targeting refugees, volunteers, and donors. The website supports growth through event promotion and educational content. Partnerships appear limited to community and advocacy networks, with no commercial subsidiaries. The organization's operations emphasize transparency and community engagement, positioning it as a trusted local actor in refugee support.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Use of Google reCAPTCHA protects against spam in forms. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No dedicated security policy or incident response information is published, which could be a compliance gap. Overall, the site balances usability and security well but should enhance header policies and formalize incident response to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Ensure all forms have CSRF protection and validate inputs server-side.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing Data Protection Officer contact details if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3 with Elementor 3.29.0, utilizing modern frontend libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel. It uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome for styling and icons. CookieYes manages cookie consent with granular categories and user controls. The site is hosted on standard infrastructure with multiple nameservers (a.ns14.net, b.ns14.net, c.ns14.net, d.ns14.net). Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and structured data. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and missing security headers, which should be addressed to maintain operational stability.
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.
