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

Oxfam Sverige is a Swedish branch of the global non-profit organization Oxfam, operating in 79 countries to provide humanitarian aid and advocate for equality and sustainable development. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence, leveraging WordPress CMS with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Cookiebot for SEO and privacy compliance respectively. The technical infrastructure includes Azure DNS hosting and integration with analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though improvements can be made by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. The absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages is a notable compliance gap. Overall, the website is trustworthy, well-branded, and serves its target audience effectively.

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
      • 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

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

Oxfam Sverige operates as an essential non-profit entity focused on humanitarian aid, poverty alleviation, and climate justice. Its market position is strong within the non-profit sector in Sweden, supported by a global network. The business model relies on advocacy, fundraising, and public engagement. The website targets a general audience interested in social justice and humanitarian issues. The organization demonstrates consistent branding and content quality, with a medium-sized operational scale founded in 2013. The digital presence supports growth and outreach through integrated marketing and analytics tools, though direct contact information is not prominently available in the analyzed content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which could impact transparency and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The security score reflects a mature but improvable posture, suitable for a non-profit organization but with room for strengthening defenses and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a dedicated security policy or vulnerability disclosure page with contact information for incident reporting.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Hotjar. Hosting is managed via Azure DNS, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses Alpine.js and Glide.js for interactive UI components. While the technical implementation is solid, there is an opportunity to improve security headers and DNS configuration. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and structured data. Overall, the technical foundation supports the organization's digital goals effectively.
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.
