Diakonische Stadtarbeit Elim is a Basel-based non-profit organization dedicated to social-diaconal work, focusing on integrating marginalized individuals such as addicts, refugees, and people in need. Established in 1997, it operates several service areas including housing, care, outreach, and community café services, supported by a team of about 35 employees and numerous volunteers. The organization is funded through a combination of government agreements and donations from a broad donor base. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and themes, optimized for SEO and mobile use, and incorporates GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms.

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
8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
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"
This scan found 24 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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 stable market position as a regional social service provider in Basel-Stadt, leveraging partnerships with government, churches, and private donors. Its business model is donation and grant-based, targeting vulnerable populations and community stakeholders. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear service descriptions, contact channels, and community engagement tools such as a newsletter subscription. The absence of commercial advertising and minimal tracking aligns with its non-profit ethos. Growth indicators include active recruitment and regular blog updates. The partnership ecosystem includes external platforms like meinplatz.ch for housing availability.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent, and nonce usage in AJAX calls. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, and no published security or incident response policies exist. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and vulnerability disclosure processes to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's risk profile but can be improved.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a WordPress CMS with the X Theme and child theme, integrating plugins such as Yoast SEO, Smart Slider 3, MailPoet for newsletters, Complianz for GDPR cookie management, and Tip Jar WP for donations. The tech stack includes PHP and JavaScript with Stripe integration for payments. Performance is moderate with caching and minification evident. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party plugins which require maintenance to avoid vulnerabilities. The infrastructure appears stable but could benefit from enhanced security configurations 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.
