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

DigitaltMuseum is a well-established digital platform founded in 2008 that aggregates collections from Norwegian and Swedish museums, providing public access to over four million cultural heritage items including photographs, artworks, and buildings. The platform targets museums, researchers, and the general public interested in cultural heritage, positioning itself as a leading resource in the Nordic region for digital museum collections. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Video.js for media playback, with hosting and DNS services provided by reputable providers such as Domeneshop AS and AWS Route53. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, CSRF token usage, and Google reCAPTCHA integration, although DNSSEC is not enabled and explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is limited as no explicit privacy or cookie policies were found in the provided content. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, content quality, and business credibility, with room for improvement in privacy policy transparency and security header implementation.

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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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

DigitaltMuseum operates as a non-profit cultural heritage platform aggregating museum collections from Norway and Sweden. Its business model focuses on providing open access to cultural data, serving a niche audience of cultural institutions, researchers, and the public. The platform benefits from partnerships with numerous museums and cultural organizations, enhancing its market position as a central digital archive in the Nordic region. Revenue streams are likely supported by public funding or cultural grants, typical for government or non-profit entities. The website's consistent branding and excellent content quality reinforce its trustworthiness and authority in the cultural heritage sector.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and anti-bot measures via Google reCAPTCHA. The presence of a CSRF token meta tag indicates attention to form security, although no forms were detected in the provided content. The lack of DNSSEC and missing explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The minimal use of tracking and reputable analytics (Plausible) suggests a privacy-conscious approach. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is common for non-profit cultural platforms but could be improved for transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish clear and comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Provide visible contact information including security incident response contacts to enhance transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks such as Video.js for media handling. External resources are loaded from reputable CDNs and services including unpkg.com and AWS S3. The site is hosted under a domain registered with Domeneshop AS and uses AWS Route53 for DNS, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no detected CMS from the provided content, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Opportunities exist to improve technical security configurations and privacy 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.
