Intermusica is a well-established international classical music agency specializing in artist management, international touring, and project development. The company operates primarily out of London with additional offices in New York and Berlin, serving a global clientele of classical musicians and ensembles. Their website reflects a professional and polished digital presence, showcasing news, artist features, and service offerings clearly targeted at industry professionals and classical music audiences. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Vimeo API, and CookieYes for consent management, hosted on a fast CDN infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, though some security headers are not explicitly detected.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  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 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Intermusica holds a strong market position as a leading classical music agency with nearly four decades of experience. Their business model focuses on artist representation, international touring logistics, and innovative project development under the 'imagine' brand. Revenue streams likely include commissions from artist engagements, touring contracts, and marketing services. The target customer segments include classical musicians, orchestras, concert promoters, and cultural institutions worldwide. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem, including a web development partner (Sennep) and uses multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize outreach. Growth indicators include recent news of new signings and international tours. The website's content and structure reflect a mature organization with a clear strategic focus on expanding global reach and artist support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a detailed cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which is a potential area for improvement to increase transparency and readiness. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust slightly but is likely due to privacy protection. Overall, the site is secure for visitors and compliant with relevant privacy laws but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
  5. Consider verifying and publishing domain registration details to improve business credibility and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern technology stack including jQuery, RequireJS, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Vimeo Player API, and CookieYes for cookie consent management. It is hosted on Amazon Cloudfront CDN, ensuring fast content delivery globally. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced further. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is fast with efficient use of asynchronous scripts and CDN resources. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are low but include the absence of some security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring.
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.
