Partner sein is a Swiss non-profit humanitarian organization affiliated with the Swiss Old Catholic church, focusing on international aid projects in countries such as DR Congo, South Sudan, Uganda, Syria, and the Philippines. The website provides project updates, donation options, and contact forms for engagement. The organization targets donors and church communities interested in solidarity and humanitarian support. Technically, the website is built on the kirchenweb.ch CMS platform, uses jQuery and Hyphenopoly for hyphenation, and serves content over HTTPS with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit indicators. Contact information is limited to contact forms without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, but could improve in privacy compliance 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.

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.

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.

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.

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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Partner sein operates in the non-profit humanitarian sector with a niche focus on church-affiliated international aid projects. Its business model relies on donations and partnerships with church communities. The organization maintains a modest online presence with project reports and donation facilitation. Market positioning is stable within its community but limited in broader humanitarian digital outreach. The lack of direct contact details and limited marketing or analytics tools suggests a conservative digital strategy focused on trust and transparency rather than aggressive growth or commercial expansion. The partnership ecosystem includes kirchenweb.ch and kirchgemeinde.ch platforms, indicating integration with Swiss church IT infrastructure.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No security policy or incident response information is published, limiting transparency for security incidents. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and limited privacy compliance indicators suggest gaps in GDPR adherence. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, reducing avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but can be improved with better headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.
Recommendations
Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
Provide direct contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication and increase credibility.
Develop and publish terms of service and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance legal clarity and security engagement.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the kirchenweb.ch CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and Hyphenopoly for UI and text hyphenation. It uses Google Fonts for typography and serves images dynamically scaled. The site is mobile optimized with responsive navigation and a slideshow feature. Performance is moderate with some JavaScript dependencies but no heavy frameworks detected. SEO is supported by meta keywords and descriptions, though no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data was found. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely Swiss-based given domain and CMS origin. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
