Security score

83/100

Risk levelLow

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

People in Need is a Czech-based non-governmental, non-profit organization with over 20 years of experience providing humanitarian aid and emergency assistance worldwide. The website serves as a platform to engage donors, volunteers, and the general public with information about their mission and activities. The organization maintains a consistent brand presence and targets a global audience interested in humanitarian causes. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, reCAPTCHA v3, and Microsoft Clarity for analytics, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security measures such as HTTPS, CAPTCHA for forms, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, although some security headers and explicit policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which should be further investigated. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and privacy-conscious but could improve transparency by publishing privacy and security policies and providing direct contact information.

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

2 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 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

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

The organization operates in the non-profit humanitarian sector, focusing on emergency aid and development projects. Its market position is that of an established NGO with a medium organizational size. The business model relies on donations, volunteer engagement, and partnerships, as evidenced by linked partner domains and social media presence. The website supports multiple languages, indicating an international outreach strategy. The use of third-party services like Stripe suggests online donation capabilities. The partnership ecosystem includes related domains such as www.clovekvtisni.cz. Growth indicators include active social media and modern web analytics. However, the lack of visible contact details and incomplete WHOIS data may impact donor trust and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate bot abuse, and a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR principles. Error tracking via Sentry is configured with environment and URL whitelisting, indicating proactive monitoring. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and no published security or incident response policies limit the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating registration issues or privacy protection that is not clearly justified. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and enhancing transparency around incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages prominently on the website.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  5. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS domain registration inconsistency to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce risk.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, Google Tag Manager for tag management, Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot mitigation, Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analytics, and Sentry for error tracking. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, providing granular user control over cookie categories. The site is served over HTTPS with modern SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The CMS or hosting provider is not explicitly identified. There is an opportunity to improve accessibility and performance by optimizing scripts and adding ARIA roles and landmarks.
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.
