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

Malmö Konsthall AB operates one of northern Europe's largest and most beautiful contemporary art exhibition spaces located in Malmö, Sweden. The organization focuses on providing cultural and artistic experiences to the general public, hosting exhibitions and events that engage visitors with contemporary art. The website reflects this mission with clear branding, relevant content, and a professional presentation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO Premium for search optimization, Cookiebot for cookie consent management, and event management plugins. The site is hosted by NMU Group, consistent with the domain registration data. Performance and mobile optimization are good, with basic accessibility features implemented. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and employs cookie consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information published. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were found, indicating a generally secure posture. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and considering a vulnerability disclosure program to further enhance security and trust.

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

5 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. 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

Malmö Konsthall holds a strong market position as a leading contemporary art gallery in northern Europe, targeting art enthusiasts and the general public interested in culture. The business model is primarily non-profit or cultural institution focused, with revenue likely derived from public funding, donations, and event hosting. The company has a stable presence since 2003, with consistent branding and a clear digital footprint including social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes major platforms like Facebook and Instagram for outreach, and the use of Cookiebot and Matomo Analytics for compliance and insights. Growth indicators include active event calendars and SEO optimization, positioning the organization well within its sector.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps in the security posture. There is no evidence of a dedicated data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. The organization should improve transparency and readiness by publishing security policies and implementing recommended headers. Overall, the security culture appears cautious but could benefit from formalized processes and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a well-maintained WordPress environment with up-to-date plugins for SEO, event management, and cookie compliance. The use of Cookiebot ensures robust cookie consent management aligned with GDPR. Hosting is provided by NMU Group, consistent with domain registration data. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Some technical debt is noted in the absence of advanced security headers and limited accessibility features. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTP security headers and improving accessibility compliance. The technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for incremental improvements.
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.
