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.

Priority findings

8 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

      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

  2. Security headers

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 Karlsruher Weihnachtscircus operates in the hospitality and entertainment sectors, focusing on live circus shows during the Christmas season. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing presence (16 editions) and regional popularity in Baden, Germany. The business relies on ticket sales through a partner platform (reservix.de) and engages audiences via social media channels. The company behind the event, ROMANZA Circusproduction, appears to be a small-sized entity specializing in event production. The website content and structure support a straightforward business model with clear calls to action for ticket purchases and event information. There is no evidence of complex revenue streams or subsidiaries. The partnership with reservix.de for ticketing is a key operational aspect.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of basic security and privacy requirements. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No incident response or security policy pages are published, which limits transparency on handling security incidents. The site uses popular and regularly updated WordPress plugins and themes, but no analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a small event website but with room for improvement to meet higher standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  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 a security or incident response policy to demonstrate preparedness and transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider integrating analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to gain insights while maintaining compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.9 using the OceanWP theme and Elementor page builder, including Elementor Pro. It leverages jQuery 3.6.1 and Swiper.js for interactive elements like slideshows and galleries. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and icons from FontAwesome 5.15.1. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site uses a cookie consent plugin to comply with privacy regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security and SEO improvements.
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.
