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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 Dia Art Foundation operates as a non-profit entity focused on contemporary art exhibitions and educational programming. Its business model revolves around cultural engagement, membership, donations, and event hosting. The foundation leverages a multi-location presence and digital media to reach a broad audience. The website reflects a mature digital strategy with integrated marketing and analytics tools, supporting audience growth and engagement. Partnerships appear limited to cultural and media domains, with no suspicious or unrelated external domains detected. The foundation's longevity and domain registration details reinforce its credibility and market stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and forms include CSRF tokens indicating secure input handling. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but would benefit from adopting additional security best practices to mitigate advanced threats.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack with standard web technologies and includes several third-party integrations for analytics, marketing, and event management. The hosting provider is pair Networks, consistent with the WHOIS data. Performance is moderate, with some scripts loaded asynchronously to optimize load times. Accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA roles are present, indicating attention to inclusive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Opportunities exist to improve technical security and performance through enhanced headers and DNS security.
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.
