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

Kunstverein Friedberg is a small non-profit art association based in Germany, founded in 1976, dedicated to presenting and promoting contemporary art. The organization offers exhibitions featuring both established and emerging artists, providing a cultural platform beyond commercial galleries and museums. The website serves as an information hub for members and art enthusiasts, promoting events, membership benefits, and regional art activities. Technically, the website is built on the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, hosted by Jimdo GmbH, and incorporates standard web technologies including jQuery UI and embedded widgets from POWr.io and Google services. The site is mobile-optimized and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit incident response or security policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and serves its target audience effectively, though there is room for improvement in security and compliance 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

3 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. 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

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 Kunstverein Friedberg operates in the cultural and non-profit sector, focusing on art exhibitions and community engagement through membership. Its market position is strong regionally with recognition beyond its immediate area. The business model relies on membership fees and event participation, targeting art lovers and local cultural stakeholders. The website supports this model by providing detailed information on exhibitions, membership benefits, and contact channels. The association is a member of the ADKV, enhancing its credibility. The partnership ecosystem includes Jimdo as the CMS and hosting provider, and third-party services like POWr.io for widgets and Google for maps and video content. Growth indicators include ongoing exhibitions and active event programming. Strategic observations suggest maintaining digital maturity and enhancing security and compliance transparency to strengthen trust and operational resilience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. Cookie consent is managed with detailed categories, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. There is no published incident response or security policy, which limits preparedness and transparency. The use of third-party widgets and embedded content introduces potential risks that should be monitored. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but would benefit from enhancements in headers, policy publication, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and member obligations and rights.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, leveraging jQuery UI and third-party widgets from POWr.io for enhanced functionality such as analytics and interactive elements. Google Maps and YouTube embeds are used for location and multimedia content. The site is mobile responsive and includes a cookie consent mechanism with detailed categorization. Performance is moderate, typical for CMS-based sites with external resources. The hosting provider is Jimdo GmbH, consistent with the CMS. No critical technical issues or broken elements were detected. Opportunities exist to modernize security practices and improve SEO and accessibility compliance to reduce technical debt and enhance user experience.
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.
