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

Glashaus e.V. is a small non-profit cultural organization based in Bayreuth, Germany, focused on hosting a variety of cultural events including concerts, art programs, and community gatherings primarily on the University of Bayreuth campus. The organization engages local students and the wider community, offering a café service and volunteer opportunities, positioning itself as a key cultural hub in the region. The website reflects this mission with event listings, membership information, and active social media channels. Technically, the site is built on an older WordPress platform with common JavaScript libraries like jQuery, bxSlider, and Slicknav, providing a moderate level of performance and mobile optimization. However, the use of outdated software versions and lack of modern security headers indicate technical debt and potential security risks. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing advanced headers and no visible incident response or security policy documentation. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism despite Google Analytics usage. WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust verification, but the website content and social presence support legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy for its community audience but would benefit from technical and security modernization.

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. 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"

  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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Glashaus e.V. operates as a non-profit cultural venue serving the university and local community in Bayreuth. Its business model relies on event hosting, membership, volunteer involvement, and café operations. The organization leverages partnerships with regional cultural institutions and government bodies, as evidenced by linked partner domains. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales (both onsite and via etix.com), café sales, and possibly grants or sponsorships. The target audience includes university students, local residents, and culture enthusiasts. The website's content and social media integration indicate active community engagement and a stable local market position. Growth opportunities may include expanding digital presence and improving online ticketing and marketing capabilities. The lack of detailed business registration info and WHOIS transparency is a minor concern but typical for small non-profits.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The use of outdated WordPress (4.9.28) and jQuery (1.11.1) versions exposes the site to known vulnerabilities if not patched. No visible security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism despite Google Analytics usage indicates partial GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, suitable for a small non-profit but requiring improvements to reduce risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade WordPress and all JavaScript libraries to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to maintain a secure environment.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.9.28, which is outdated and may lack recent security patches. It uses jQuery 1.11.1, bxSlider, Slicknav, and Font Awesome for UI and interactivity. The site includes Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. Performance is moderate with some modern responsive design elements and mobile optimization. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and uses older libraries that could impact security and performance. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses HTTPS but does not implement advanced security headers. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization to improve security and performance.
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.
