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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

      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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

The museum holds a stable position as a cultural institution within the Bayreuth region, leveraging partnerships with recognized networks such as the Museumsbund and Netzwerk graphische Sammlungen. Its business model centers on cultural engagement through exhibitions and events, supported by a museum shop and newsletter for visitor interaction. The target audience is broad, including local visitors and tourists interested in art history. The website's digital presence supports this model with clear contact information, social media integration, and GDPR-compliant data practices. There is no indication of parent or subsidiary companies, and the institution appears to operate independently. The museum's content and branding are consistent, reinforcing its cultural identity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and email addresses protected via JavaScript obfuscation. Cookie consent is managed through Usercentrics, indicating attention to privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could limit transparency in case of security events. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a cultural institution website but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance data retention disclosures related to analytics and user data to strengthen privacy compliance.
  5. Consider adding structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and events to improve SEO and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS with a Bootstrap-based theme, leveraging modern front-end technologies including CSS animations, flexbox, and responsive images. It integrates Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant cookie consent and ReadSpeaker for accessibility features. The site loads compressed CSS and JavaScript assets, indicating optimization efforts. Performance is moderate with no critical issues detected. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, supported by skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is addressed with canonical tags, meta viewport, and robots directives. No hosting provider details were extracted. The technical stack is appropriate for a small cultural institution, with opportunities to improve security headers and structured data implementation.
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.
