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

We Effect is a Swedish non-profit organization dedicated to combating global hunger and poverty through cooperative development and sustainable agriculture. The organization operates in 19 countries, focusing on empowering farmers and housing cooperatives with an emphasis on gender equality and climate justice. Their business model relies on donations, monthly giving, corporate partnerships, and a gift shop. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, targeting donors, supporters, and cooperative organizations worldwide. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, utilizing modern JavaScript modules, jQuery, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Sentry for analytics and error monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers could be improved. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site shows strong trust indicators including certifications and clear contact information. WHOIS data for the www subdomain was not found, likely due to querying a subdomain rather than the registered domain, but the overall legitimacy of the organization is supported by the website content and certifications. Overall, We Effect presents a trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained online presence that effectively supports its mission and engages its audience.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

We Effect holds a strong market position as the world's largest cooperative aid organization focused on poverty alleviation and food security. Their competitive advantage lies in their cooperative model approach, extensive global reach, and strong emphasis on sustainability and gender equality. Revenue streams are primarily from donations, monthly giving programs, corporate gifts, and a gift shop. The target customer segments include individual donors, corporate partners, and cooperative organizations. Growth indicators include recent awards and UN recognition of 2025 as the Year of Cooperatives. The partnership ecosystem includes Swedish cooperative companies and local experts. Strategic observations highlight their innovative approach to sustainable development and strong branding consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of monitoring tools like Sentry. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, which could enhance security readiness and transparency. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce explicit security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and alerting capabilities to detect and respond to suspicious activities promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses ES modules for JavaScript, jQuery, and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Sentry for analytics and error tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, reflecting good technical maturity. Performance is moderate, with opportunities for optimization in loading times and resource management. The use of multiple preloaded fonts and large images suggests potential for further performance tuning. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's digital presence effectively with room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
