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

10 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

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 festival operates in the cultural sector, targeting music enthusiasts and the general public interested in contemporary arts. Its business model revolves around event organization, ticket sales through a dedicated subdomain, and content dissemination via podcasts and articles. Partnerships with government cultural bodies and regional authorities enhance its credibility and funding. The website's digital maturity is moderate to high, leveraging modern web frameworks and analytics tools. The absence of direct contact details suggests a controlled communication channel, typical for event organizations. The festival's market position is that of a recognized cultural event in the Grand Est region of France, with potential for growth through digital engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and CSRF tokens implemented for form submissions. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR explicit indicators. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional headers and formalizing security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Consider adding direct contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to improve communication channels.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Alpine.js for reactive UI components and Livewire for server-driven frontend interactions, likely based on Laravel PHP framework. Tailwind CSS is used for styling, ensuring responsive and accessible design. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable European provider. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and CSS assets, and lazy loading of images. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features such as skip links and keyboard focus management are implemented. The site integrates Fathom Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool, avoiding heavy tracking scripts. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some security headers and explicit privacy mechanisms represent areas for improvement.
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.
