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

Soeurs de Saint-Paul is a well-established Catholic religious congregation founded in 1873 in Fribourg, Switzerland, with an international presence in several countries including Cameroon, Madagascar, Vietnam, and Burundi. The organization focuses on spiritual activities, charitable works, and community engagement, targeting religious communities and supporters. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, providing multilingual content and clear contact information. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and plugins, including Vue.js and Google reCAPTCHA for form security. While HTTPS is properly implemented, the site lacks explicit security headers and formal privacy and cookie policies, which are important for compliance and security posture. Analytics are managed via Google Analytics and Google Site Kit, indicating moderate user tracking. Overall, the website is functional, trustworthy, and well-positioned for its non-profit religious mission, but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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 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 congregation operates as a non-profit religious entity with a clear mission and long history. Its market position is stable within the religious and non-profit sector, supported by multiple international locations. The business model centers on spiritual and charitable services rather than commercial revenue. The website supports multiple languages, indicating a diverse audience reach. Partnerships include regional sites such as phaolothienban.com for Vietnam and a developer partner kerusso.ch. The organization demonstrates good branding consistency and trust signals through its history and professional web presence. Growth indicators are limited but the site supports community engagement and information dissemination effectively.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA, which are positive security measures. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The use of third-party plugins like Slider Revolution requires vigilance due to known past vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, formalizing security policies, and ensuring plugin updates.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities, especially for Slider Revolution.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Vue.js, Axios, and Google reCAPTCHA for enhanced interactivity and security. It uses popular plugins such as Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder for content management and visual effects. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for modernization 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.
