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

The website www.er500.ee is an educational and cultural platform managed by the Estonian Literary Museum (Eesti Kirjandusmuuseum). It focuses on presenting the 500-year history of Estonian books, including important publications, literary works, and historical events. The platform offers thematic content, timelines, and allows users to create and share stories, targeting literature enthusiasts, researchers, and the general public interested in Estonian cultural heritage. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Zoomist and FontAwesome, and integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and asynchronous script loading but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain registration aligns well with the website's cultural mission, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • 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

    • 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

  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 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';…

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 platform serves as a niche cultural and educational resource within Estonia, operated by a recognized cultural institution. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public education and cultural preservation. The site’s market position is strong within the Estonian cultural sector, providing unique historical content and interactive features. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs suggests a focus on content quality and user engagement rather than revenue generation. The target audience includes academics, students, and cultural enthusiasts. The platform’s partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but it likely collaborates with cultural and educational organizations. Growth indicators include regular content updates and interactive user contributions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and no immediate signs of vulnerabilities or malware. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or security policy information is provided, and no dedicated security contact channels are visible. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces potential privacy concerns, especially without cookie consent mechanisms. To enhance security maturity, the site should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security and privacy policies, and establish clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including periodic vulnerability assessments and user data protection measures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform, leveraging JavaScript libraries such as Zoomist for image zooming and FontAwesome for icons. The site loads Google Analytics asynchronously, indicating attention to performance. The HTML structure is valid and includes meta tags for mobile optimization and viewport settings. The site is mobile responsive and has a clear navigation menu. However, no advanced SEO structured data (e.g., JSON-LD) or Open Graph tags were detected in the provided content, which could be improved for better search engine visibility. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in script loading and caching. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. Accessibility features are basic, with some use of ARIA roles and labels but no explicit accessibility statements.
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.
