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.

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 organization operates primarily in the non-profit sector, focusing on fundraising through donations to support medical research and social programs. Its business model relies on public generosity and transparent communication of its mission and impact. The website's integration with multiple payment gateways and donor account management services indicates a mature digital fundraising infrastructure. The extensive social media presence and clear privacy policies enhance donor trust and engagement. The lack of WHOIS data for the subdomain is typical and does not detract from legitimacy. Strategic partnerships and certifications further strengthen its market credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with encrypted donation forms and consent management via Didomi. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected in the HTML content. The presence of TLS 1.2 ensures secure data transmission. However, explicit HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not confirmed and should be audited. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts is transparent and consent-based, aligning with GDPR requirements. Incident response contact is provided, indicating readiness for security issues. Overall, the security maturity is good with room for enhancement in header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Conduct a security header audit and implement missing headers such as CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance transparency by publishing a dedicated vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  4. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and practices.
  5. Implement continuous monitoring and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager and Piano Analytics. Consent management is handled by Didomi SDK, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and optimized assets. The presence of multiple external domains for analytics and advertising is managed with user consent. Technical debt appears low, but ongoing maintenance of third-party integrations is recommended to sustain security and performance.
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.
