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

UkraineNow is a non-profit initiative focused on providing humanitarian aid and tech support to Ukrainians affected by the war. It operates as a decentralized platform connecting volunteers, tech talents, private companies, and non-profits to deliver immediate assistance and sustainable impact through technology and resources. The organization is backed by Radical Philanthropies, a 501c3 IRS-approved non-profit, and has established partnerships with leading tech companies and media outlets, enhancing its credibility and reach. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Analytics for tracking, Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and Weglot for multilingual support. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, fast loading, and accessible, with a professional design and clear navigation. However, some security best practices such as explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements reCAPTCHA to protect forms, with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for non-profits but slightly reduces transparency. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present, but cookie policy and terms of service are missing. Overall, UkraineNow presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with a strong humanitarian mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance with cookie consent, publishing a security policy, and adding security headers to improve security posture and user trust.

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

5 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

UkraineNow occupies a niche in the humanitarian non-profit sector with a focus on technology-enabled aid. Its competitive advantage lies in its decentralized volunteer network, partnerships with major tech companies, and media visibility. The business model relies on donations, corporate sponsorships, and volunteer contributions. Target customers include compassionate individuals, tech professionals, and organizations seeking to contribute to Ukraine's rebuilding efforts. Growth indicators include successful fundraising, project launches, and evacuation support metrics. The partnership ecosystem includes Radical Philanthropies and tech giants like Google and Amazon, which provide financial and infrastructure support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting user input forms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement explicit security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and consider hosting a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and services such as Google Analytics for tracking and Weglot for multilingual support. The hosting is likely provided by Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast content delivery and good performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. The use of SVG graphics and asynchronous script loading contributes to efficient rendering. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to enhance security headers and privacy compliance features. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
