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

The Musée des Beaux-Arts de Bordeaux is a well-established cultural institution showcasing European art from the 15th to the 20th century. It offers permanent collections, temporary exhibitions, educational programs, and public events, serving a broad general audience including families, students, and art enthusiasts. The museum is positioned as a key cultural entity within Bordeaux, supported by official city partnerships and a strong online presence. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 11, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It incorporates privacy and cookie consent management via Tarteaucitron and uses Piano Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and manages cookie consent effectively. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response information, which are recommended for enhanced security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR requirements. The absence of WHOIS data slightly reduces trust but does not detract from the legitimacy indicated by the content and official affiliations. Strategic improvements in security transparency and header implementation would further strengthen the site’s security and compliance stance.

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

    • 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 museum operates as a public cultural institution, likely funded or managed by local government entities, focusing on art preservation, exhibition, and education. Its market position is strong within the regional cultural sector, with over 200 years of history. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, events, educational programs, and possibly public funding. The target customer segments include local residents, tourists, students, families, and art professionals. The museum maintains partnerships with other Bordeaux cultural institutions, enhancing its ecosystem and outreach. The website supports these operations by providing detailed information, event calendars, and access to an extensive online art database, indicating a mature digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed in compliance with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in best practices. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy and implementing additional HTTP security headers to mitigate risks such as clickjacking and cross-site scripting. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public cultural website but can be improved.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Add HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure compliance and minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11, a modern and widely supported CMS, ensuring a solid foundation for content management and security updates. The use of jQuery and Bootstrap indicates a reliance on proven frontend frameworks for responsive and interactive design. Cookie consent is managed by Tarteaucitron, a GDPR-compliant tool, and analytics are handled by Piano Analytics, a privacy-conscious service. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes mobile optimization and accessibility considerations. However, the lack of explicit security headers and missing WHOIS data suggest areas for technical improvement and better transparency. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in asset delivery and caching strategies.
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.
