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

Diabolo Festival is a small-scale cultural event organizer based in Switzerland, focusing on live arts performances and workshops for children and families. The website serves as an informational portal for the festival, highlighting past editions and upcoming events. The business operates in a niche market segment, targeting families and arts enthusiasts with a community-driven approach. Technically, the website employs common front-end libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Swiper.js, providing a responsive and visually engaging user experience. However, the site lacks advanced CMS integration and structured data markup, which could enhance SEO and content management. Security posture is basic, with no evident security headers or privacy policies, and the SSL configuration status is unknown from the provided data. Contact information is available but limited, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved security and privacy compliance measures.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Diabolo Festival operates as a cultural event organizer with a focus on children's live arts. Its market positioning is regional and niche, catering primarily to families and local communities interested in arts education and entertainment. The business model revolves around event organization, community engagement, and cultural promotion. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, sponsorships, and possibly public funding or grants. The website supports the festival's branding and outreach but lacks advanced digital marketing tools or analytics. Partnerships are not explicitly indicated, and no related domains or subsidiaries are identified. Growth indicators are limited but the festival's longevity (13th edition) suggests stable community presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS presumably enabled (though SSL configuration details are not provided). There are no visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. The absence of incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies further limits the security maturity. No forms or input fields are detected that would require additional input validation or protection. Overall, the security posture is minimal and should be enhanced to protect user data and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Configure and enforce HTTPS with strong SSL/TLS settings and verify certificate validity.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve security transparency.
  5. Integrate analytics and monitoring tools to better understand user behavior and improve website performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional front-end stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper.js, and Colorbox for UI components and interactivity. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or structured data markup, which limits SEO and content management capabilities. Performance is moderate, with external dependencies loaded from CDNs. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal due to lack of meta tags beyond the title and viewport. The site does not appear to use modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app technologies. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to improve maintainability and user experience.
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.
