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. 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

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 as a small non-profit entity in the education and media sectors, focusing on digital literary arts. Its business model revolves around cultural dissemination and digital exhibitions rather than commercial sales. The target audience includes academics, poets, and digital art enthusiasts. The website's market position is specialized, serving a niche community interested in digital literature. The lack of advertising and affiliate programs suggests a focus on content integrity and educational value. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related domains or subsidiaries were identified. Growth indicators include recent domain registration and active content updates. Strategic observations recommend expanding incident response transparency and exploring partnerships to broaden reach.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock enabled. However, DNSSEC is not activated, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. The absence of a Content-Security-Policy header and other advanced security headers limits protection against certain web attacks like XSS. No security.txt or incident response contacts are published, which reduces readiness for vulnerability reporting. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR-compliant, reflecting good privacy practices. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the provided data. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a cultural website but with opportunities for improvement to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to comply with standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, which is widely supported and flexible. Slider Revolution is used for rich media presentation, enhancing visual appeal. The Real Cookie Banner plugin ensures compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting is provided by Raidboxes, a specialized WordPress host, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with preloading of scripts and fonts, but could benefit from further optimization. Mobile responsiveness is good, with adaptive layouts and font loading strategies. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data usage. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and some security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for the website's purpose.
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.
