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

7 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 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 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

    • High

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

FIFF operates in the media and non-profit sectors, focusing on international film festival organization and cultural education. Its business model revolves around event management, cultural promotion, and partnerships with institutional sponsors and donors. The presence of multiple language options and educational programs indicates a broad target audience and community engagement. The festival maintains partnerships with Swiss governmental and regional bodies, enhancing its legitimacy and market position. The website's content and structure support its role as a key cultural event in Switzerland, with a focus on inclusivity and international reach.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes security headers that enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities. The use of reCAPTCHA on user registration forms mitigates automated abuse risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and lack of a security.txt file represent minor compliance gaps. The site could benefit from a visible cookie consent mechanism to align with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations fully. Overall, the security posture is strong for a cultural event website but can be enhanced with formalized policies and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie and privacy laws.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly cover cookie usage, tracking, and data retention.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Video.js, Slick Carousel, and Select2 for enhanced user experience. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with proper meta tags and SEO considerations. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. The technical infrastructure is robust for a cultural festival website, though hosting provider details were not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to improve cookie management and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
