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

The website www.kultur-garching.de serves as the official cultural portal for the town of Garching, Germany, providing comprehensive information about local cultural events, ticket sales, and related services. It targets local residents and visitors interested in cultural activities, positioning itself as a key local cultural institution with a focus on event promotion and community engagement. The business model is primarily public service oriented, supported by partnerships with established ticketing platforms such as Münchenticket. Technically, the site is built on the EGOTEC CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks like Angular and libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive features. Hosting is provided by SchlundTech, a reputable German hosting provider, ensuring stable and localized infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and email obfuscation implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive GDPR-compliant privacy policy, though cookie consent mechanisms are absent. Overall, the site demonstrates good content quality, usability, and trustworthiness appropriate for a government cultural service portal.

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

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

    • 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

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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';…

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 site operates within the government and non-profit cultural sector, serving a small-sized local market. Its competitive advantage lies in its official status and integration with trusted ticketing services, enabling streamlined event management and ticket sales. Revenue streams likely include public funding and ticket commissions. The target customer segment is local residents and cultural event attendees. Growth indicators include a regularly updated event calendar and active partnerships. The partnership ecosystem includes the Bürgerhaus Garching and Münchenticket, enhancing service delivery. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve digital maturity by enhancing security practices and adding marketing analytics.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and email obfuscation to reduce spam. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is evident through the privacy policy, but cookie consent is missing, which could be a compliance gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public cultural site but could be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance regarding user tracking and cookies.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Integrate analytics and monitoring tools to better understand user behavior and improve service delivery.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Angular 14, jQuery, and Slick Carousel for UI components, supported by the EGOTEC CMS platform. Hosting is via SchlundTech, a German provider, ensuring localized and reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive with good design quality and navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility compliance. The site lacks advanced analytics and marketing tools, which could be added to enhance digital maturity.
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.
