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

7 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

  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

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 Mémorial ACTe operates as a non-profit cultural institution with a clear mission to educate and memorialize the history of slavery and its abolition. Its market position is strong within the Caribbean cultural and historical sector, leveraging exhibitions and events to engage visitors. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, event hosting, and space rentals. The institution maintains active social media channels and a dedicated ticketing subdomain, indicating a mature digital ecosystem. Growth indicators include regular cultural events and a well-maintained website with updated content. Partnerships appear limited to service domains such as ticketing. The business model focuses on cultural education and community engagement rather than commercial profit.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found, which could enhance transparency and trust. The website does not appear to use tracking or advertising scripts that could introduce privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a cultural institution but could be strengthened with additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and user rights in the privacy policy.

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap 5.3.3 and JavaScript, ensuring responsive design and good user experience across devices. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider, which supports reliable uptime and performance. The site uses CDN services for CSS and JS assets, improving load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. Accessibility is addressed with semantic HTML and responsive layouts. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image delivery and script loading. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were identified.
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.
