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

9 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 holds a strong market position in the non-profit sector focused on social aid and exclusion. It operates internationally with multiple country-specific Samusocials. Revenue streams likely include donations and partnerships, supported by a dedicated donation platform (iraiser.eu). The target audience includes donors, partners, social workers, and the general public interested in social issues. The website content and structure support transparency and engagement, with annual reports, governance information, and advocacy resources. The partnership ecosystem includes payment processing and social media platforms, enhancing outreach and fundraising capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and key security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy represents gaps that could be exploited. Duplicate analytics scripts may introduce performance and privacy concerns. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could impact security readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit but can be improved to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Add missing security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy for improved browser security.
  4. Remove duplicate Google Analytics scripts to optimize performance and reduce privacy risks.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  6. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable WordPress 6.1.5 platform with a variety of plugins including Elementor for page building, Yoast SEO for search optimization, MonsterInsights for analytics, and reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Hosting is provided by Nuxit, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site loads moderate resources including external scripts from Google, YouTube, Vimeo, and CDN for fonts and icons. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and accessible navigation. Some technical debt is noted in duplicate analytics scripts and missing advanced security headers. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing scripts and enabling caching strategies.
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.
