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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  2. Security headers

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 institution holds a strong regional position in Kärnten for architectural culture and education. It operates as a non-profit entity with partnerships across various cultural and governmental organizations, as evidenced by the partner logos and external links. The business model focuses on cultural promotion and education rather than commercial sales. The website content and event calendar indicate active engagement with the community and stakeholders. The presence of social media channels and newsletters supports outreach and audience engagement. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the organization's founding date, reinforcing credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and includes standard security headers such as HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy. Cookie consent is implemented via a visible banner, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, there is no dedicated security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved. Tracking scripts from Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are present, with moderate user tracking levels. Overall, the security posture is solid for a cultural institution website but could benefit from enhanced transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and data protection measures.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Include incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by the Plone CMS, a mature and secure content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Slider for UI components, Leaflet for maps, and Moment.js for date handling. The site loads scripts asynchronously or deferred to optimize performance. Meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter cards) are well implemented. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and multiple external resources. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience with room for performance optimization.
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.
