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

6 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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 site represents a small-sized government or non-profit entity focused on city marketing and event organization. It holds a strong local market position as the official platform for the Gänseliesel Fest, offering services such as event hosting, cultural representation, and community engagement. The business model revolves around promoting local culture and tourism through annual festivals. The presence of detailed FAQs, application forms, and official contacts indicates a mature operational approach. Partnerships appear limited to local entities, with no subsidiaries or parent companies identified. The site content and branding are consistent, supporting a positive reputation in the local community.

Security posture

Security maturity is good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. The site uses secure form inputs with required fields and avoids vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is mostly met via a privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could benefit from additional hardening and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights more explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging jQuery and standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS3). Hosting is via DomainDiscount24, a reputable provider. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and lazy loading in use. The technical stack is well-maintained with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and implement cookie consent mechanisms. The site architecture supports scalability for future event editions and content expansion.
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.
