The Crespo Foundation is a German non-profit organization dedicated to empowering individuals through cultural, educational, and social programs. Their website showcases a variety of initiatives including art exhibitions, workshops, scholarships, and community engagement projects. The foundation targets artists, youth, migrants, and the broader cultural community, positioning itself as a key player in cultural education and social empowerment in Germany with international collaborations. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, styled with Tailwind CSS, and hosted via DomainControl services. It employs Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and follows several best practices, though it lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies. However, no incident response or security policy pages are published. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, reflecting the foundation's mission and credibility. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency could further enhance trust and resilience.

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

7 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 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 Crespo Foundation operates in the non-profit sector focusing on cultural and educational initiatives. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized programs that combine art, cultural education, and social empowerment, supported by partnerships with institutions like the Goethe-Institut and participation in events such as the Frankfurt Book Fair. The foundation's business model revolves around grant-making, program funding, and community engagement rather than commercial revenue streams. Its target audience includes artists, educators, youth, and migrant communities. Growth indicators include expanding program offerings and international collaborations. The foundation maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and active social media engagement, reinforcing its market position and trustworthiness.

Security posture

The Crespo Foundation's website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could limit rapid response capabilities. The site does not appear to use a Web Application Firewall or other advanced security mechanisms. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a non-profit cultural website but could be enhanced to meet higher standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack with Nuxt.js and Vue.js, leveraging Tailwind CSS for styling. It uses a custom CMS for content management and is hosted on DomainControl infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses Matomo for analytics, favoring privacy. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. The technical implementation supports a professional and engaging user experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations to reduce technical risks.
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.
