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. 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

Womanity operates in the non-profit sector targeting underserved women and girls globally, leveraging partnerships and donor funding to deliver impactful programs. Its competitive advantage lies in its innovative and sustainable approach, recognized by independent rankings. The business model is donation-driven with a focus on transparency and impact reporting. The organization maintains a diverse partnership ecosystem including media agencies and NGOs. Growth indicators include expanding program reach and digital engagement. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining strong compliance and security to protect donor trust and data integrity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, secure payment integration via Stripe, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the organization's size and sector but should evolve to address emerging threats and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add additional security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy for improved protection.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to align with evolving GDPR and global privacy standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and GiveWP for donation management, integrated with Stripe for payments. It employs Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection and multiple analytics and tracking tools including Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Bing Ads. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags for SEO and social media integration. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and incomplete security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve compliance.
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.
