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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  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.

    • 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 organization operates on a non-profit business model focused on fundraising and cultural investment. It leverages partnerships with lottery organizations and certification bodies to enhance credibility and funding sources. The website's digital presence is modern, utilizing Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks, and integrates analytics and user tracking tools responsibly. The target customer segments include cultural institutions, artists, donors, and cultural enthusiasts. Growth indicators include active project funding and a strong social media presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented properly, supporting GDPR compliance. Recommendations include enhancing security header coverage and publishing formal security policies to improve transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options for better protection.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack (Nuxt.js and Vue.js) with Tailwind CSS for styling. It uses Google Tag Manager and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking, and integrates YouTube iframe API for video content. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. The CMS appears custom but well integrated. Accessibility is basic and could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML enhancements.
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.
