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

The Estonian Film Institute operates as a national cultural institution dedicated to supporting and promoting Estonian film production, distribution, and education. The website serves both film viewers and industry professionals, providing news, event information, and institutional details. The organization is well-established with a domain registered since 2014, consistent with its public presence. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with contemporary libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. SEO practices are well implemented, and the site is mobile-optimized. However, some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security contact channels, which could be areas for improvement. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit contact information to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

  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 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';…

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 Estonian Film Institute holds a key position in Estonia's media sector as a government-supported entity focused on film culture. Its business model revolves around cultural promotion and support rather than commercial revenue generation. The target audience includes both film audiences and industry stakeholders. The website reflects a stable and consistent brand with a clear focus on film-related content and services. Partnerships with related domains such as arkaader.ee indicate collaboration within the film event ecosystem. Growth indicators include active news updates and event promotion. The organization benefits from a clear market niche and government backing, which supports its legitimacy and operational stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers and lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate room for maturity improvement. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanism suggests limited formal security communication channels. Compliance with GDPR is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears functional but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in transparency and user data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Include clear contact information including security and general inquiry emails and phone numbers.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5.3.3, jQuery 3.7.1, and several plugins such as Rank Math SEO and Bellows Pro. The site uses CDN resources for fonts and scripts, contributing to moderate performance. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and articles. No critical technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Hosting is likely provided by Telia Eesti AS, consistent with the registrar information. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in lazy loading and accessibility improvements.
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.
