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

KulturKirche2025 is a cultural initiative centered on churches in the Chemnitz region, aligned with the European Capital of Culture 2025 program. The website serves as a platform to promote cultural exhibitions, spiritual events, and community projects, targeting visitors, pilgrims, and local cultural participants. The business model is non-profit and community-focused, emphasizing cultural heritage and spiritual engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Advanced Custom Fields Pro and WPML for multilingual support. The infrastructure is hosted on rzone.de nameservers, indicating a professional hosting environment. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit security headers and formal policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is accessible, well-structured, and provides relevant cultural content but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security documentation.

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

11 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 · found on this site
  • 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 website positions itself as a regional cultural hub for the Chemnitz 2025 European Capital of Culture initiative, leveraging partnerships with local and European cultural organizations. Its competitive advantage lies in its niche focus on church-related cultural and spiritual projects, offering exhibitions, events, and pilgrimage services. Revenue streams are likely grant or donation-based given the non-profit nature. The target customers include cultural tourists, faith communities, and local residents. The partnership ecosystem includes official regional culture sites and art destination platforms, enhancing its reach and credibility. Growth indicators include active event listings and multimedia content. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to expand digital engagement and formalize compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of popular WordPress plugins suggests regular updates are necessary to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by implementing best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web threats.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish incident response contact information to improve transparency and security readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file and improve accessibility features to enhance trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using version 6.8.3, with extensive use of Advanced Custom Fields Pro for content management and WPML for multilingual capabilities. It leverages jQuery and jQuery UI libraries, Leaflet.js for map functionalities, and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. Hosting is provided by rzone.de as indicated by the nameservers. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and responsive design. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JS assets cached. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by consolidating CSS files and optimizing script loading. No critical technical risks were detected in the provided content.
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.
