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. 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';…

  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

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

Jazzcampus holds a significant position in the regional music education sector, focusing on jazz studies and related music instruction. Its affiliation with FHNW and Musik Akademie Basel provides credibility and access to a broad academic network. The business model centers on providing higher education and community music programs, supported by events and public jazz club activities. The target audience includes prospective students, music educators, and jazz enthusiasts. The website's partnership ecosystem includes related music academies and cultural organizations, enhancing its market reach. Growth indicators include multimedia engagement and active event promotion. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong institutional ties and enhancing digital privacy compliance to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no evident exposure of sensitive data. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates tracking but lacks a visible cookie consent banner, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency. There are no signs of vulnerable libraries or insecure forms. Recommendations include implementing comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms, adding security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, and publishing security and incident response policies to improve trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an educational website but can be enhanced to meet best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible and comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with multimedia integration via Vimeo. The presence of Google Tag Manager indicates analytics and marketing tracking. The CMS appears to be a custom or Adobe Experience Manager-based system, inferred from resource paths. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt is minimal, but improvements in privacy compliance and security headers are needed. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
