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

The Deutsches Bernsteinmuseum im Kloster Ribnitz is a small regional museum in Germany specializing in the natural and cultural history of Baltic amber. It offers permanent and special exhibitions, educational programs for children and groups, and hosts cultural events such as concerts and readings. The museum is owned by the city of Ribnitz-Damgarten and supported by various cultural foundations and government bodies, positioning it as a trusted cultural institution in the region. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS and uses a range of JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.11.3 and carouFredSel for carousels. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility and SEO features. Hosting is provided by a German hosting provider (rzone.de). The website is fully accessible with no blocking or WAF challenges. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are recommended for GDPR compliance. The use of an outdated jQuery version may pose minor security risks. No incident response or security policies are published, and no analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its audience well, but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

  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

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 museum operates as a cultural and educational institution focusing on Baltic amber and local history, targeting tourists, families, and educational groups. Its business model revolves around exhibitions, events, and a shop/café. The museum benefits from public and foundation funding, indicating stable support but limited commercial revenue streams. The website reflects a clear brand identity and consistent messaging. Partnerships with cultural organizations and government entities enhance its credibility. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital engagement and improving privacy and security compliance to meet evolving regulatory standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, which is mandatory. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.11.3) is a potential vulnerability vector. No visible sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of published security or incident response policies and absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicates limited formal security governance. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a low-risk cultural website but should be improved to mitigate risks and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about data usage.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to harden the website against attacks.
  3. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Contao Open Source CMS and uses several JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.11.3, carouFredSel, Colorbox, MediaElement.js, jQuery UI, and Swipe.js. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and scripts from code.jquery.com. Hosting is via rzone.de, a German hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but uses an outdated jQuery version which may pose security risks. SEO metadata is minimal with empty description and keywords meta tags. Accessibility features are basic with skip navigation links and ARIA roles. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
