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

HUMBUG is a cultural venue based in Basel, Switzerland, focusing on queer, feminist, and alternative cultural events. The website provides a comprehensive program of past and current events, showcasing a vibrant community engagement. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, but lacks advanced security headers and privacy policies. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, though the content and event listings indicate a legitimate operation. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

7 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

HUMBUG operates as a small cultural event venue targeting niche audiences interested in queer and feminist culture. Its business model revolves around event hosting and community engagement rather than commercial sales. The extensive event listings demonstrate active community involvement and a strong local presence. The lack of direct contact information and privacy policies may hinder broader trust and compliance. The venue's partnerships and social media presence support its market positioning as a cultural hub in Basel.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes tracking scripts but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No forms or sensitive data collection mechanisms were detected, reducing immediate risk exposure. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which could delay response to security incidents. Overall, the security posture is basic and requires enhancements to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities or outdated libraries.
  5. Improve website accessibility and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics. No CMS or advanced frameworks were detected. The site appears moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available from the provided data. The site structure is clear with extensive event listings, but no forms or interactive elements were found. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and privacy implementations.
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.
