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

SwipeAway is an educational self-learning tool designed to raise awareness about recognizing hostile narratives on social media platforms and to promote digital civil courage. The project is operated by the Amadeu Antonio Stiftung, a reputable non-profit foundation in Germany, and is supported by Stiftung Mercator. The website targets a general audience interested in social media literacy and digital rights education. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on social impact and education. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including Nuxt.js, JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3. It is hosted on servers associated with agenturserver, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. The site uses HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration but lacks some security headers that could enhance protection. The site employs minimal user tracking via the privacy-conscious Umami analytics platform. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance and security best practices. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no contact information is readily available on the main page, which could impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and focused on educational content without any adult or questionable material. The domain registration data aligns well with the website's stated purpose and parent organization, indicating legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding a cookie consent mechanism, publishing security and incident response policies, and providing clear contact information to enhance trust and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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

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

Business profile

SwipeAway occupies a niche position in the education sector, specifically targeting digital literacy and social media awareness. Its competitive advantage lies in its focus on combating hostile narratives and promoting digital civil courage, supported by a reputable non-profit foundation. The business model is centered on educational impact rather than revenue generation. The target customer segment includes educators, students, and socially conscious individuals in Germany. The partnership with Stiftung Mercator adds credibility and potential funding support. Growth indicators are not explicit but the project’s alignment with social causes suggests potential for expansion through educational institutions and NGOs. The ecosystem includes hosting providers and analytics services, with no detected commercial partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit privacy compliance features indicates partial GDPR adherence. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness and security policy transparency are lacking, which could hinder effective handling of security incidents. Overall, the security culture appears basic but with room for improvement to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  4. Provide visible and verified contact information including emails or phone numbers for user support and security reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) for server-side rendering and client-side interactivity, contributing to good user experience and mobile optimization. The hosting environment is stable with agenturserver nameservers. Performance is moderate, with prefetching and module preloading techniques employed to optimize loading times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing and search engine visibility. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA attributes and better keyboard navigation support. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. The use of Umami analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security hardening.
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.
