The Discover LBJ website serves as the official digital archive for the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library, providing access to a wide range of archival collections, digitized materials, and research resources. It targets researchers, historians, students, and the general public interested in presidential history and LBJ's legacy. The site is government-operated under the National Archives and Records Administration, positioning it as a trusted and authoritative source in its niche.
Technically, the website is built on Drupal CMS with modern integrations such as React and Gutenberg editor components. It leverages Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience.
From a security standpoint, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and a formal security policy or incident response contact, which are areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Analytics usage includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager, indicating moderate user tracking.
Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained, with minor gaps in security and privacy compliance that, if addressed, would enhance its posture and user trust.

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

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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Discover LBJ operates as a government digital archive under the LBJ Presidential Library and NARA, focusing on historical and educational content. Its market position is strong within the government and archival sector, offering unique primary source materials. The business model is non-commercial, emphasizing public access and research facilitation. Key services include digital archival access, searchable holdings, and research support. The target audience spans academia, historians, students, and the general public. The website's partnership ecosystem includes official government domains and social media channels, reinforcing its authoritative presence. Growth indicators include ongoing digitization efforts and content migration noted on the site.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of incident response contact channels and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is basic, with no cookie consent mechanism and limited GDPR indicators. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government archival site but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
Regularly review and update privacy compliance measures, including GDPR adherence and data retention policies.

Notes
The website uses a modern technology stack centered on Drupal CMS with React and Gutenberg editor components, indicating a contemporary approach to content management and user interface. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare, offering performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices.

Opportunities exist to enhance security configurations and privacy mechanisms to align with best practices.
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.
