Partial score · DNS & email only

69/100

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

The Beeville Art Museum is a small, community-focused non-profit organization dedicated to showcasing Texas artists and providing educational and cultural programs. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring clear navigation, event listings, and contact information that supports community engagement. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented, with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, ensuring secure communications. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie consent mechanisms, which could be improved to enhance compliance with privacy regulations. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is common for small organizations and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, the museum maintains a good security posture with room for improvement in privacy compliance and incident response transparency.

Priority findings

3 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Beeville Art Museum operates as a local cultural institution serving art enthusiasts, families, and the regional community in Texas. Its business model centers on exhibitions, educational programs, and community events, positioning it as a key player in the local arts sector. The museum leverages social media channels like Instagram and Facebook to extend its reach and engagement. The website's content quality and branding consistency support its credibility and trustworthiness. While the organization does not disclose detailed business registration or certifications on the site, its clear contact information and event transparency indicate operational legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, protecting user data in transit. No exposed sensitive information or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a cookie consent banner and detailed privacy/security policies suggests gaps in privacy compliance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could enhance the museum's security culture and incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is good for a small non-profit but could benefit from formalizing privacy and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and security policies detailing data handling and user rights.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing standard JavaScript libraries and YUI3 scripts for UI components. It employs Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media integration. The hosting is managed by Squarespace CDN, providing reliable performance and SSL termination. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and moderate loading speeds. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No advanced frameworks or custom backend technologies were detected, consistent with a typical Squarespace deployment. Overall, the technical implementation supports the museum's digital presence effectively with opportunities for modernization in accessibility and privacy features.
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.
