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

The Landesmuseum Württemberg website represents a well-established cultural institution focused on showcasing regional history and art in Stuttgart, Germany. The museum offers a variety of exhibitions, educational programs, and visitor services, positioning itself as a key cultural hub in the region. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets a broad audience interested in history and culture. Technically, the site is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies and integrating Matomo analytics for user insights. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, enhancing user experience across devices. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure information, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain and website content are consistent and legitimate, with no signs of malicious activity or suspicious patterns. Strategic recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, enhancing security headers, and formalizing vulnerability disclosure processes to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. 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

  3. 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

Landesmuseum Württemberg operates as a government or public institution museum, serving the cultural and educational needs of the Stuttgart region. Its business model revolves around exhibitions, events, guided tours, and educational outreach, supported by ticket sales and donations. The museum maintains partnerships with related cultural institutions and government bodies, enhancing its reach and resources. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a focus on user engagement and accessibility. Growth indicators include digital offerings such as a museum app and active event calendars. The museum's market position is strong within the regional cultural sector, leveraging its historical significance and comprehensive collections. The partnership ecosystem includes other museums and cultural participation centers, indicating collaborative operations. The absence of direct commercial advertising suggests a non-profit orientation focused on public service.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tracking solutions. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. The site should consider implementing security.txt and publishing incident response procedures to enhance security culture and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public-facing cultural website but can be strengthened to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Add incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.

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.
