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 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 organization operates in the niche media and non-profit sector, targeting audiences interested in human rights and film culture. Its business model revolves around cultural promotion and education rather than commercial revenue. The website supports this with detailed award information, event schedules, and educational resources. The presence on multiple social platforms and partnerships like Wertebündnis Bayern indicate a well-connected ecosystem. The lack of commercial elements and clear contact details suggests a focus on awareness and community engagement rather than direct sales or services.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no advanced security headers or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present. The absence of exposed sensitive data is positive, but the security posture could be enhanced by adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility to improve trust and user engagement.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, ensuring a stable and maintainable platform. The use of slick slider and cookieconsent2 libraries indicates modern UI and privacy compliance tools. Hosting is managed by Neuland Multimedia, as inferred from nameservers, suggesting a professional hosting environment. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags. No analytics or tracking beyond cookie consent scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by improving security headers and monitoring.
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.
