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

Discover-Culture is a small media company based in Germany, specializing in digital cultural tours, VR experiences, and interactive cultural media. The website offers digital tours and cultural films accessible without restrictions after purchase, targeting a general audience interested in culture and art. The business model is primarily e-commerce focused on digital content delivery. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot. Hosting is via Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, though the absence of DNSSEC and explicit security headers suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie policy and consent mechanism present but lacking explicit privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the website is professional, well-branded, and functional, with moderate trustworthiness and a solid technical foundation.

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. 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';…
  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

  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 company operates in the niche digital cultural media sector, offering VR tours, livestreams, and audio/video guides. Its market position is that of a specialized provider catering to cultural institutions and consumers interested in digital cultural experiences. The business leverages e-commerce for content sales and integrates marketing tools to track user engagement and conversions. The website supports multiple languages, indicating an international or multilingual target audience. The domain age aligns with the company's founding year, supporting legitimacy. No direct contact information or certifications were found, which could be improved to enhance credibility. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed in the content provided.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduce the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces potential privacy and security considerations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies to improve transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy) to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The theme and plugins are contemporary, with Alpine.js and jQuery for frontend interactivity. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure, providing scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance documentation.
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.
