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

The Magyar Nemzeti Digitális Archívum (MaNDA) is a Hungarian national digital archive operated by Forum Hungaricum Nonprofit Ltd. It serves as a comprehensive cultural heritage platform, aggregating and providing access to over 800,000 records and 14 million metadata entries. The website offers thematic virtual exhibitions, search capabilities, and collaboration with libraries, museums, archives, and cultural institutions. It holds a strong market position as a trusted government and non-profit digital archive partner, including affiliation with Europeana. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS with a mix of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and secure forms, though lacking some advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, serving a general audience interested in Hungarian cultural heritage.

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

8 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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

  3. 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';…

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

MaNDA operates in the government and non-profit cultural sector, targeting cultural institutions and the general public. Its business model focuses on digital archiving and cultural content aggregation, supported by partnerships with national and European cultural organizations. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive database, thematic virtual exhibitions, and official government backing. Revenue streams are likely public funding and institutional collaborations. The partnership ecosystem includes Forum Hungaricum and Europeana, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and strategic digitalization programs. The platform maintains consistent branding and professional content, reinforcing its authoritative market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login forms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. There is no public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, and incident response contact information is absent. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. No known vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The security score is good but could be improved by implementing additional headers, explicit policies, and user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive cookie consent and tracking opt-in/out mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for users with disabilities and comply with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom content management system with a technology stack including jQuery 1.10.1, Modernizr 2.6.2, Nivo Lightbox, and Bloodhound for typeahead search. Google Analytics is integrated via gtag.js for user tracking. The site is served over HTTPS with good SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility is basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site could benefit from modernization of JavaScript libraries and implementation of progressive web app features to improve performance and 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.
