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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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

Forum Stadtpark holds a strong market position as a cultural institution with a long history and a clear focus on arts and culture. Its business model is non-profit, relying on community engagement, events, and publications. The organization benefits from partnerships and a loyal audience base in Graz and beyond. The website supports its mission by providing detailed program information, media content, and subscription options. The absence of commercial advertising and minimal tracking reflects its non-commercial nature. Growth indicators include active event programming and artist residencies. The partnership ecosystem includes local studios and mailing list providers. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital presence through improved technical infrastructure and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent banner in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses secure POST methods for forms but could improve by adding explicit security contact channels and adopting security best practices. Compliance with GDPR is evident but could be strengthened with more detailed policies and transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a cultural non-profit but should be enhanced to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end technology stack including jQuery 3.6.3, Handlebars.js for templating, Lightbox.js for media display, and Dragdealer.js for UI interactions. The site is mobile optimized with responsive CSS and viewport meta tags. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. SEO is supported by meta description and keywords tags, but could benefit from structured data markup. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be improved with modern frameworks and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
