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. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Kulturkirche St. Stephani operates as a local cultural institution in Bremen, targeting general audiences interested in arts and community events. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on event hosting, exhibitions, and cultural engagement rather than commercial revenue. The website indicates a stable market position within the local cultural sector, supported by affiliations with established church organizations. The presence of ticket sales and a shop suggests some revenue streams, likely supporting operational costs. The organization maintains active social media channels on Facebook and YouTube, facilitating community interaction and outreach. Growth indicators include a structured event calendar and ongoing exhibitions. The partnership ecosystem is centered around Kirche Bremen and related church entities, reinforcing its community integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web threats. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, indicating a gap in transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Translate and Matomo analytics introduces potential risks that should be regularly audited. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit cultural site but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a mature technical infrastructure. It employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Slider, and Masonry for dynamic content presentation and responsive design. The integration of Google Translate enhances multilingual accessibility. Performance is moderate, with gzip compressed CSS and JavaScript assets improving load times. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO for TYPO3, ensuring proper meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support, but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical stack is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility 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.
