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

6 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

  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

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

Kulturgemeinde Alsdorf operates in the non-profit cultural sector, targeting local residents and cultural enthusiasts. Its competitive advantage lies in its established presence in Alsdorf and partnerships with local venues and ticketing platforms. The business model is event-centric, generating revenue through ticket sales and memberships. Growth indicators include a well-maintained event calendar and active promotion of new subscription seasons. The partnership ecosystem includes Pixelcowboys Werbeagentur for design and Stadthalle Alsdorf as a venue partner. The organization maintains a clear focus on community cultural enrichment with consistent branding and communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could limit preparedness for security incidents. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of reputable external services reduces risk. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie consent and privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide direct contact information for security or abuse reporting channels.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain GDPR compliance.

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.
