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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The organization holds a strong market position as a regional cultural promoter with a clear non-profit business model focused on cultural event facilitation and funding. Its target audience includes cultural professionals and local communities in Rheinland-Pfalz. The website's partnership with regional cultural institutions and government bodies enhances its credibility. Revenue streams likely include public funding and grants. The digital presence is mature, with active social media channels and a newsletter to engage stakeholders. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its non-profit status. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on digital engagement and expanding cultural networks.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, GDPR-compliant cookie consent via Borlabs Cookie, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The site uses nonce tokens for AJAX requests, which is a good practice. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.
Recommendations
Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Masonry.js for layout, and AJAX Load More for dynamic content loading. The Borlabs Cookie plugin manages GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data are properly implemented. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through caching and asset optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly 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.
