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

Freiraumfest is a non-commercial, self-organized cultural festival based in Graz, Austria, focusing on community-driven events and free spaces for cultural, artistic, and political engagement. The festival is scheduled for November 16-23, 2025, and aims to provide a platform for diverse community participation beyond commercial interests. The website is built on WordPress using modern plugins and themes, offering a good user experience with mobile optimization and SEO features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers and formal policies. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the site is legitimate and trustworthy for its purpose but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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

      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

Business profile

Freiraumfest operates as a small-scale, community-focused cultural festival with a non-commercial business model. It targets local residents and cultural communities in Graz, providing event hosting and engagement opportunities. The festival leverages WordPress for digital presence and event management but does not appear to monetize through advertising or tracking. The absence of formal privacy and security policies suggests a grassroots approach rather than a commercial enterprise. The festival's market position is local and niche, emphasizing cultural participation and free spaces. There is no indication of parent companies or subsidiaries, and no external partnerships are evident from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and uses security-related plugins like CryptX. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency in security management. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better headers, policies, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding contact information including official emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supplemented by plugins for SEO (All in One SEO), event management (The Events Calendar), contact forms (Contact Form 7), and security (CryptX). The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and WordPress core scripts. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with no obvious broken elements or errors in the HTML. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) describing the organization and webpage. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is no evidence of advanced hosting provider details or CDN usage from the HTML content.
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.
