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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 targets donors and sponsors interested in supporting child rights and development projects. Its business model relies on donations, sponsorships, and public funding, with transparent reporting and certifications enhancing credibility. The website features testimonials, detailed project descriptions, and multiple donation options, indicating a mature fundraising ecosystem. Partnerships with public donors and a strong social media presence support outreach and engagement. The organization's long history and consistent branding reinforce its market position as a leading child rights NGO in Germany.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses cookie consent tools to comply with privacy laws. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and a lack of published incident response contacts or security.txt files suggest room for improvement. The use of reputable third-party scripts and modern frameworks supports a secure environment. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish an incident response or abuse contact email to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Continue maintaining and updating privacy and cookie policies to stay compliant with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging RequireJS for JavaScript module loading and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, indicating compliance with GDPR. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip-to-content links. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS assets loaded asynchronously or deferred. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the domain uses domaindiscount24.net name servers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for minor performance and security enhancements.
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.
