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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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. 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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 Lime Tree Theatre operates as a key cultural hub in Limerick, leveraging ticket sales, memberships, and sponsorships for revenue. Its partnerships with local government and educational institutions enhance its credibility and outreach. The business model focuses on community engagement and artist development, targeting general audiences interested in arts and culture. The website's comprehensive event listings and social media integration support marketing and audience growth. The absence of terms of service and explicit incident response policies suggests areas for operational maturity. The organization appears to maintain a moderate digital maturity level with opportunities to enhance security and compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of hCaptcha to prevent spam on forms, and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of DNSSEC and incomplete security headers indicate room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present, which could be a gap in security culture. The site does not expose any known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response readiness.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various plugins for SEO, accessibility, and user interaction. Hosting is provided by Hosting Ireland, a reputable provider. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, including an accessibility toolbar. SEO is enhanced by Rank Math plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter Cards. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The site uses hCaptcha for bot protection on forms. There is some technical debt in missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC, which should be addressed to improve 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.
