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

The Deutsches Romantik-Museum website serves as an online presence for a cultural museum located in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, dedicated to Romanticism art and culture. The site targets general visitors interested in art and cultural heritage, providing information about exhibitions and events. The business model is that of a cultural institution with a focus on education and public engagement. Technically, the website employs modern web standards with HTML5 and CSS3, uses Matomo for analytics with privacy-conscious cookie management via Cookiebot, and is hosted on a multimedia service provider's infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with consistent branding and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks published security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the site is trustworthy and compliant with GDPR cookie consent requirements but could improve transparency by publishing privacy and security policies.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 in the cultural and educational sector, focusing on Romanticism. It likely relies on public funding, visitor admissions, and cultural partnerships. The website shows partnerships with related cultural institutions such as Freies Deutsches Hochstift and Frankfurter Goethe Haus, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of commercial contact details suggests a non-commercial or public institution model. The site’s content and structure support visitor engagement and information dissemination rather than direct sales or e-commerce. Growth indicators are not evident from the website data, but the use of modern analytics and consent tools suggests digital maturity. The partnership ecosystem is culturally oriented, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and cookie consent is managed with a reputable third-party tool (Cookiebot) that blocks cookies until consent is given. Matomo analytics is configured to disable cookies initially, enhancing privacy compliance. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is published, which is a compliance gap. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The site does not appear to use any vulnerable or outdated libraries. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a cultural institution website but could be improved by publishing security policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
  2. Add a security policy page including incident response contacts and procedures.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean and modern technical stack with HTML5 and CSS3, supported by Matomo analytics and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Hosting is provided by werkbank-multimedia.net, consistent with the domain's nameservers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design principles. SEO is basic with canonical tags and meta viewport settings but lacks detailed meta descriptions. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS or major frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated by adding security headers and improving policy transparency.
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.
