La Kunsthalle is a French contemporary art center operated by the city of Mulhouse, established since 2008. It serves as a cultural institution offering exhibitions, artist residencies, mediation programs, and publishing activities. The website targets the general public interested in contemporary art and is positioned as a nationally recognized center supported by public and regional cultural bodies. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and Contact Form 7, and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO, with a good content structure and navigation. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and domain registration protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not provide explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is weak, with no cookie consent mechanism despite tracking scripts. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security practices.

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
10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Email security
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
Critical
No email authentication configured
Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing
What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately
High
No SPF record found
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
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"
This scan found 27 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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 institution operates as a public cultural entity funded by the city of Mulhouse and supported by regional and national cultural organizations. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on cultural promotion and education. The website reflects a stable presence with consistent branding and partnerships. The target audience includes art enthusiasts, local community members, and cultural professionals. The institution leverages partnerships with government and cultural networks to enhance its offerings. Growth indicators include calls for applications and new editions published. The website content and partner links reinforce its role as a key regional cultural player.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status locks to prevent unauthorized changes. However, it lacks advanced DNS security (DNSSEC) and does not implement common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. The presence of tracking scripts without cookie consent mechanisms indicates potential GDPR compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance measures.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Add a cookie consent banner and update privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance and user data handling.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to reduce risk of vulnerabilities.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS using a child theme of Twenty Twelve and several popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, Slider Revolution, and WP jQuery Lightbox. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics scripts for functionality and tracking. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and SEO, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is average with some legacy code for IE9 support. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified. No advanced frameworks beyond WordPress core and plugins are detected. The site lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for improved security posture.
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.
