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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  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

The organization operates as a government-affiliated cultural center, targeting families and youth with a variety of cultural and educational services. Its market position is local and community-focused, with a business model centered on public cultural engagement rather than commercial revenue. The website content and structure support this mission with event listings, galleries, and educational resources. Partnerships with the city of Hämeenlinna and active social media channels enhance its outreach. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its public service nature. Growth indicators include regular event updates and active community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. Analytics are implemented with privacy-respecting tools like Matomo alongside Google Analytics. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact is a gap in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public cultural website but could be enhanced with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a terms of service page to complete legal documentation and user agreement clarity.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerability risks.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize privacy compliance, especially with evolving GDPR and NIS2 regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. It uses jQuery and Google Maps API for interactive features. Analytics are handled by Matomo and Google Analytics, indicating a balanced approach to data collection and privacy. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, with semantic HTML and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, suitable for a medium-sized municipal cultural website.
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.
