Risk levelMedium

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

Transnational Giving Europe operates as a non-profit network facilitating tax-effective cross-border philanthropy across 19 European countries. The organization enables donors residing in one member country to support non-profit organizations in other member states while benefiting from tax advantages. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at donors and non-profit organizations interested in cross-border giving. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted on Microsoft Azure, and employs Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR. No WHOIS registrant data is available due to EURid privacy policies, but the website's content and structure indicate a legitimate and trustworthy organization.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

      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';…

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 holds a unique market position as the only practical and secure solution for tax-effective cross-border donations in Europe. Its business model is based on facilitating philanthropy across borders without requiring donors or beneficiaries to navigate complex national laws. The network covers 19 countries and targets both individual and corporate donors. The website's content and social media presence support its credibility and outreach efforts. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via contact forms. The organization appears medium-sized with a focus on non-profit sector collaboration and information exchange.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policy pages, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Regular updates and implementation of additional security headers are recommended to enhance protection against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. Hosting is provided by Microsoft Azure, indicating a reliable infrastructure. Google Analytics is used for traffic analysis, and Google reCAPTCHA protects forms from spam and abuse. The site loads external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and Google Translate. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical issues or outdated libraries were detected in the provided HTML content.
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.
