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

Zusage is a German-language platform dedicated to strengthening civil society, likely operating as a non-profit or advocacy organization. The website is built on WordPress and incorporates modern consent management and analytics tools such as Usercentrics and Matomo, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is accessible without any WAF or blocking mechanisms, and the content is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable material detected. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data and privacy policy reduces transparency and trustworthiness to some extent. Security posture is moderate, with no detected security headers and unknown SSL configuration, suggesting room for improvement in technical security measures.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Zusage appears to serve a niche market focused on civil society and community engagement within Germany. The business model is likely non-profit or advocacy-based, targeting German-speaking activists and civil society members. The website's use of WordPress and common plugins suggests a cost-effective digital presence. Lack of explicit contact information and certifications limits the ability to fully assess business credibility. The organization does not appear to have subsidiaries or partners listed on the site. The presence of Usercentrics CMP indicates awareness of privacy regulations, though the absence of a privacy policy page is a gap. Overall, Zusage maintains a consistent brand and good content quality, positioning itself as a specialized community resource.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate but could be improved. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs), but no security headers were detected in the provided data, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The use of Usercentrics CMP and Matomo analytics shows some attention to privacy and data protection. However, the lack of a visible privacy policy and incident response information, combined with unavailable WHOIS data, reduces transparency and may impact trust. There are no indications of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. Regular updates and security hardening, including adding security headers and publishing security policies, are recommended to enhance the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure SSL/TLS configuration is strong and regularly audited.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security incident reporting.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response plan to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery, Usercentrics CMP for consent management, and Matomo for analytics. The site includes responsive design elements and appears optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization detected. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. SEO optimization is basic, with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small non-profit website but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security practices.
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.
