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

5 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  3. 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 World YWCA leverages its global non-profit status to engage a diverse audience of women and activists through digital storytelling and resource sharing. Its business model centers on advocacy and community building rather than commercial revenue. The site integrates with partner domains such as the main World YWCA site and a story sharing platform, enhancing its ecosystem. The organization's market position is strong within the non-profit women's empowerment sector, supported by consistent content updates and social media engagement. Growth indicators include active blog posts, forums, and resource libraries. Strategic partnerships and donation links suggest ongoing fundraising efforts.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS encryption and use of reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and limited security headers indicate potential vulnerabilities to DNS spoofing and clickjacking attacks. No dedicated security policy or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and mitigation. The use of reputable hosting and regular plugin updates contributes positively to security. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but would benefit from enhanced DNS security, explicit security policies, and improved HTTP header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response contact to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.9.10, utilizing a variety of plugins including WPBakery Page Builder, MonsterInsights for analytics, FormCraft for forms, and social media integration tools. The hosting provider is Infomaniak, indicated by the nameservers. Performance is moderate with some optimization via PageSpeed modules. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
