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

Zeit-Hilfs-Netz is a non-profit social initiative based in Styria, Austria, facilitating a time-based help exchange platform for residents. The organization operates a WordPress-based website and a mobile app to enable citizens to offer and receive support efficiently. Supported by regional government entities and an insurance partner (UNIQA), the platform ensures volunteer protection and local organizational assistance. The website demonstrates good content quality, clear navigation, and GDPR compliance with a cookie consent mechanism. Technically, it uses standard WordPress plugins and integrates Google Analytics and Google Maps for enhanced user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie management, though it lacks explicit security headers and a vulnerability disclosure policy. Overall, the domain registration and business information are consistent and trustworthy, reflecting a legitimate regional non-profit entity.

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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

The platform targets residents of Styria interested in volunteering and social help exchange, positioning itself as a regional leader in time banking and community support. Its partnerships with UNIQA and regional government bodies provide competitive advantages and trust signals. The business model is non-profit, relying on government support and insurance partnerships rather than commercial revenue streams. The website content and app facilitate user engagement and growth, with clear contact points and transparency. The organization appears stable, with a decade-long history and consistent branding. Opportunities exist to enhance security policies and broaden digital maturity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent plugin to comply with GDPR, reflecting a mature privacy approach. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options, which could improve defense-in-depth. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of Google Analytics and Google Maps is managed with user consent. Incident response contact channels are not explicitly provided. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance security.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Consider adding explicit security policy information and incident response contacts on the website.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie plugins, indicating a modern and SEO-optimized CMS environment. It uses jQuery and embeds YouTube videos and Google Maps, enhancing user engagement. Performance is moderate with some caching and optimization via Autoptimize. Mobile optimization is good with responsive images and layouts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were found. The technical stack is standard for non-profit organizations, balancing ease of use and functionality. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility 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.
