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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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"

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 operates as an essential government entity promoting art in public spaces, targeting architects, artists, and the general public interested in cultural projects. Its business model revolves around cultural promotion rather than commercial revenue generation. The website reflects a stable and mature initiative with consistent branding and clear contact information. The parent company, Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft m.b.H., is the federal real estate group, reinforcing the site's legitimacy. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its government and cultural mission. The partnership ecosystem includes the parent federal real estate company. Growth indicators include ongoing projects and news updates, suggesting active engagement in the cultural sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms are present but lack visible advanced anti-bot measures such as CAPTCHA. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government cultural website but could benefit from formalized security documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot protections to prevent abuse.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. Font Awesome is used for icons. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are implemented. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided HTML. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism integrated via an external script from priv.center, indicating attention to privacy compliance.
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.
