Security score

47/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Fondation Hindemith is a small, specialized cultural foundation dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of composer Paul Hindemith. The website provides rich content about the foundation's activities, including music promotion, research, publications, and cultural events. The foundation targets musicians, scholars, and classical music enthusiasts primarily in German-speaking regions, with multilingual support for English and French. The domain is recently registered but hosted by a reputable provider, consistent with a small non-profit organization. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and SEO plugins, offering good design and navigation but lacking explicit privacy and cookie policies. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and security headers.

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

8 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 foundation operates in the cultural and educational sector, focusing on classical music heritage. It leverages partnerships with cultural institutions and organizes events to engage its audience. The business model is non-profit, relying on promoting music and research rather than commercial sales. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supporting the foundation's credibility. Growth opportunities include expanding digital presence and enhancing compliance with privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and standard WordPress security practices but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, which could be improved to enhance trust and security readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and SEO plugins, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags. The hosting provider is reputable, but the domain is newly registered, which may require monitoring. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced. No analytics or tracking services were detected, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical setup supports the foundation's mission but has room for security and compliance 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.
