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

Schoenstatt.com is the official website of the International Schoenstatt Movement, a Catholic non-profit organization founded in 1914 and active internationally across five continents. The website serves as a central platform for community engagement, spiritual education, and dissemination of news and resources related to the movement. It targets members and followers of the movement, providing multilingual content and multimedia resources to support its mission. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO Premium, hosted by IONOS SE. It uses modern web technologies including HTTPS, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA for security and analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although performance is moderate and accessibility is basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain locking to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some recommended security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is limited to a contact form without direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, supporting the organization's mission effectively. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, DNS security, and security headers would enhance its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 International Schoenstatt Movement operates as a non-profit religious organization with a global presence. Its website reflects a well-established brand with consistent messaging and a clear focus on community and spirituality. The business model centers on providing spiritual resources, community engagement, and information dissemination rather than commercial activities. The movement's longevity and international reach position it as a significant player in the religious non-profit sector. The website supports growth through multilingual content and active social media channels, although direct contact details are minimal. There is no evidence of commercial partnerships or subsidiaries from the website data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain status flags protect against unauthorized domain changes. The use of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse on forms. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. Privacy compliance gaps, especially regarding cookie consent and privacy policies, pose regulatory risks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The hosting provider is IONOS SE, a reputable registrar and hosting company. The site uses responsive design techniques and serves optimized images. Performance is moderate, likely due to the use of multiple plugins and large media assets. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and labels present but no advanced accessibility features detected. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and some security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
