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. 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

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 organization holds a strong market position as the largest music culture entity in Bavaria, focusing on non-profit cultural promotion. Its business model revolves around project management, funding, and community services rather than commercial revenue. The presence of partner domains such as modakademie.de and blkm.de indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The website content and structure support its mission, targeting musicians and cultural participants. Growth indicators include active event promotion and youth engagement projects. The lack of explicit terms of service or detailed business registration info is typical for non-profit cultural organizations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent is managed via a reputable CMP (Usercentrics). However, no explicit security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no incident response or security policies are publicly available. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers, published security policies, and regular library updates to maintain compliance and reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and several UI libraries like Owl Carousel and Magnific Popup for enhanced user experience. The presence of Usercentrics scripts indicates a modern approach to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, though no explicit hosting provider or CMS was identified. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure. Opportunities exist to improve SEO with richer metadata and structured data implementation.
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.
