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

9 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. 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"

    • 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

The museum operates as a government-affiliated non-profit entity, positioning itself as a key cultural venue in the Nord region of France. Its business model is publicly funded, focusing on cultural preservation and education rather than commercial revenue. The website supports ticket sales via a dedicated subdomain, indicating integration with official departmental services. Partnerships with regional tourism and cultural organizations enhance its ecosystem. The museum targets a diverse audience including local visitors, tourists, and professionals, leveraging multilingual content to broaden reach. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital engagement through social media. The absence of commercial advertising and affiliate programs aligns with its public service mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and Cloudflare protection. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are published, which could hinder transparency and user trust in case of incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, limiting external security collaboration. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could improve by adopting additional security best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable versions are in use.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4, Moment.js, and Font Awesome, ensuring good UI/UX and responsiveness. Hosting behind Cloudflare provides CDN benefits and DDoS protection. The site loads asynchronously loaded scripts such as Matomo analytics and Google reCAPTCHA, optimizing performance. The HTML structure is semantic and includes accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation aids. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph images. However, no explicit CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in script loading and caching strategies. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the museum's digital presence effectively.
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.
