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

Skat Foundation is a Swiss non-profit organization dedicated to development cooperation and sustainable development initiatives. The website presents a professional image with a focus on international development services, capacity building, and advisory roles. The target audience includes development professionals, donors, and partner organizations. The business model is typical for a non-profit foundation operating in the international cooperation sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, with standard plugins for multilingual support and cookie consent management. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility and SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place; however, there is room for improvement in security headers and published security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the website's claims, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

7 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

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

Business profile

The Skat Foundation holds a solid position in the non-profit development sector, focusing on sustainable development and international cooperation. Its business model revolves around providing advisory and capacity-building services, likely funded by donors and partnerships. The website's content and structure suggest a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and a professional online presence. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage may indicate a preference for controlled communication channels or contact via partner networks. The use of multilingual plugins suggests an international audience. The foundation does not appear to engage in commercial advertising or affiliate marketing, focusing instead on its core mission.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. A cookie consent banner with detailed preference options demonstrates awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are published, which are recommended for transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, which require proper configuration to maintain privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, processing, and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS and theme combination. It uses jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The cookie consent is managed by the Cookie Law Info plugin, providing a user-friendly consent mechanism. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is good due to the Divi theme's capabilities. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO metadata is present but minimal. No hosting provider information was detected from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a professional non-profit website but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
