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

artlookmap.com is a specialized data platform focused on increasing arts education equity across the United States. The platform aggregates and visualizes arts education data for partner cities, enabling stakeholders such as school administrators, community agencies, and funders to make informed decisions. The business operates under the parent company Parliament and has been active since 2013, with a growing network of partner communities nationwide. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript frameworks like React and integrates Heap Analytics for user behavior tracking. While the site is well-designed and provides relevant content, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. Security-wise, the domain is stable and uses HTTPS, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, indicating room for improvement in hardening its security posture. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security practices.

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. 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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 business is positioned as an important player in the education and non-profit sectors, providing a unique data-driven solution to track and improve arts education access. Its competitive advantage lies in its unified data platform and public mapping tools that empower multiple stakeholders. Revenue streams likely include partnerships with cities and educational organizations. The target customers are education administrators, schools, community agencies, and funders. The presence of multiple partner community portals indicates a strong partnership ecosystem and growth potential. The company demonstrates consistent branding and professional content, supporting its credibility in the market.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and protects domain registration with clientDeleteProhibited and related statuses. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth. No incident response or security contact information is published, which is a gap for transparency and readiness. The use of Heap Analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent or privacy policy is present, which may raise compliance concerns under GDPR or similar regulations. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain security.
  3. Add security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with client-side rendering and uses React Quill for rich text editing. It loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses Heap Analytics for tracking. The hosting appears to be managed via DNSimple nameservers, indicating a reliable DNS provider. Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and asynchronous analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and title tags but no Open Graph or structured data detected. There is no CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and SEO improvements.
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.
