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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. 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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

    • Medium

      SSL Certificate Expires Within 90 Days

      SSL certificate expires in 68 days

      What to do: Plan SSL certificate renewal

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 Budapest Festival Orchestra operates primarily in the media and non-profit cultural sector, focusing on classical music performance and education. Its market position is strong, being among the top ten symphonic ensembles globally. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, donations, patron memberships, and corporate partnerships. The organization maintains a broad partnership ecosystem, including ticketing services and cultural institutions. The website's content and structure support growth and audience engagement, with clear navigation and multilingual support. Strategic observations suggest continued emphasis on community outreach and international touring to sustain and expand its audience base.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism that respects user privacy preferences. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as CSP or HSTS indicates areas for enhancement. The use of third-party tracking and advertising scripts is transparent and consent-based, aligning with GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls to mitigate emerging threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot measures to prevent automated abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with asynchronous loading of components and CSS for performance optimization. Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in caching and resource optimization. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced performance tuning and security hardening.
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.
