Risk levelMedium

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

Automuseum Melle is a small regional museum in Germany dedicated to the history of automobiles, showcasing over 300 functional vintage vehicles across three floors. The museum offers guided tours, special exhibitions, and a café, targeting automobile enthusiasts and local visitors. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and hosted on rzone.de servers, featuring a professional but basic design with clear navigation and relevant content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS likely enabled but lacking advanced security headers and published policies. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and credible for its business scope but could improve in security and privacy transparency.

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

7 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

  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"

      • 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';…

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention automuseum-melle.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for automuseum-melle.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The museum operates on a cultural and educational business model, generating revenue through admissions, guided tours, and café sales. It holds a unique market position in the region by maintaining a collection of operational historic vehicles, appealing to niche enthusiasts and tourists. The business shows consistent branding and provides clear contact channels but lacks digital marketing and analytics integration. Growth opportunities could include enhanced online engagement and expanded event offerings.

Security posture

The current security maturity is basic. The website uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates partial GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but improvements in security best practices and transparency are recommended to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  4. Regularly update TYPO3 CMS and associated libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with custom CSS and JavaScript, including Foundation CSS and jQuery libraries. Hosting is provided by rzone.de as indicated by nameservers. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. There is no evidence of modern performance optimizations such as lazy loading or advanced caching. Technical debt appears low but modernization could improve user experience and security.
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.
