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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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

Massif Central occupies a niche in the hospitality and urban cultural event sector in Frankfurt. Its business model combines food and beverage services with event hosting and cultural programming, appealing to a diverse urban audience. The website indicates active partnerships with local event organizers and specialty stores, enhancing its market position. Revenue streams likely include food sales, event hosting fees, and partnerships. The company targets urban creatives, local residents, and event attendees, positioning itself as a unique cultural hub. The lack of detailed company registration data suggests a small to medium-sized enterprise with privacy protection for registrant data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a security.txt file indicate gaps in best practices. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder timely security communication. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The use of third-party marketing scripts like MailerLite introduces potential privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to reduce risk and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve security communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Foundation front-end framework and uses jQuery and Animate.css for UI effects. It integrates MailerLite for marketing automation and Contact Form 7 for form handling. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and loading speed. No major technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
