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

The website www.annafest.bayern serves as the official information portal for the Annafest, a traditional folk festival held in Forchheim, Bavaria. It provides comprehensive details about the event including schedules, attractions, food and drink options, accessibility, and reservation information. The site targets festival attendees, families, and cultural enthusiasts, positioning itself as a regional cultural event platform. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring good mobile responsiveness and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response contacts. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for event domains, and does not raise suspicion given the regional focus and content consistency. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-optimized for its purpose.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

The Annafest website operates in the hospitality and event promotion sector, focusing on a well-known regional festival. Its business model revolves around providing detailed event information and promoting local culture and tourism. The site links to official partners such as the local tourist office and Sparkasse Forchheim, indicating a partnership ecosystem supporting the event. The absence of direct e-commerce on the site suggests revenue streams may come from sponsorships, local business partnerships, and possibly merchandise sales via linked shops. The target audience includes local residents, tourists, and beer festival enthusiasts, with content tailored to diverse age groups but primarily mature audiences due to alcohol-related content. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a clear market position as the authoritative source for Annafest information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture. It enforces HTTPS, uses a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security.txt or dedicated incident response contact information, which are best practices for vulnerability disclosure and incident management. No vulnerable libraries or scripts were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is secure for general informational use but could improve its security maturity by implementing additional headers and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Add explicit security and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

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.
