Risk levelHigh

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

Circus Pikard is a small family circus based in Austria, offering live circus entertainment including artists, clowns, jugglers, and animal acts. The website promotes their 2025 tour and ticket reservation options, targeting a general family audience. The business operates regionally with a focus on live performances and seasonal events such as a winter circus. Technically, the website uses older web technologies like PHP, MySQL, Prototype.js, and Scriptaculous, with a basic but functional design. The site lacks modern CMS or advanced frameworks and shows moderate performance and SEO optimization. Security posture is weak, with no visible HTTPS enforcement or security headers, and no cookie consent mechanism, which raises compliance concerns under GDPR. Contact information is minimal, limited to a phone number and a Facebook page link. Overall, the site is trustworthy for its business purpose but requires improvements in security and privacy compliance.

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

      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.

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 is positioned as a niche regional family circus in Lower Austria, leveraging live entertainment and ticket sales as primary revenue streams. The target customers are families and circus enthusiasts in Austria. The website content and social media presence indicate a modest but stable operation without evident partnerships or subsidiaries. The business model focuses on seasonal tours and special events like winter circus shows. Growth indicators include visitor counts displayed on the site and ongoing tour announcements. The lack of advanced digital marketing or analytics tools suggests limited digital maturity. The company appears to operate independently without parent or subsidiary companies.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers, which exposes users to potential risks. No privacy or cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, risking non-compliance with GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The absence of security best practices such as CSP or X-Frame-Options headers further weakens the security posture. However, no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing HTTPS, security headers, cookie consent, and detailed privacy policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  4. Enhance the privacy policy with comprehensive GDPR compliance details and make it easily accessible.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using PHP and MySQL backend technologies with frontend reliance on older JavaScript libraries such as Prototype.js and Scriptaculous for effects. The HTML structure is basic but functional, with meta tags for SEO present but no modern structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. No CMS or modern frameworks are used. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization or mobile-first design evident. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks analytics or tracking scripts, indicating limited data collection. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries and lack of modern security practices. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data.
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.
