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

The Regionalmuseum Neubrandenburg is a regional cultural institution focused on preserving and presenting the history and traditions of Neubrandenburg and its surroundings. The website offers information about exhibitions, educational programs, events, and research activities, targeting local residents, families, schools, and cultural enthusiasts. The museum operates as a public or non-profit entity, providing accessible cultural content in German. Technically, the website uses a custom CMS likely provided by Advantic Systemhaus GmbH, with a technology stack including jQuery, Flexslider, and Highslide. While the site is functional and well-structured with good content quality and navigation, it uses outdated JavaScript libraries that pose potential security risks. The site includes a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. Security posture is moderate, with no explicit security headers detected and unknown SSL configuration. Analytics are performed using Piwik (Matomo), respecting privacy considerations. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from technical updates and enhanced security measures.

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

8 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 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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention museum-neubrandenburg.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for museum-neubrandenburg.de right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 holds a stable position as a regional cultural and educational institution, serving a niche audience interested in local history and culture. Its business model is public/non-profit, focusing on exhibitions, educational outreach, and research. The website supports this with clear navigation to visit information, exhibitions, and events. The partnership with Advantic Systemhaus GmbH for hosting and CMS indicates a professional IT support structure. The museum's offerings and events suggest active community engagement and a focus on educational services. No commercial or e-commerce activities are evident. Growth opportunities could include digital engagement enhancements and modernization of technical infrastructure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy shows awareness of privacy regulations. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.10.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities. No security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which are recommended for modern web security. SSL/TLS status is unknown but should be verified to ensure HTTPS enforcement. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which is common for public cultural institutions but could be improved. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from security hardening and library updates.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Ensure HTTPS is enforced with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and strong cipher suites.
  4. Add a dedicated security or abuse contact email to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Consider publishing a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform likely provided by Advantic Systemhaus GmbH, with a technology stack including jQuery 1.10.2, jQuery UI Datepicker, Flexslider, Highslide JS, and Font Awesome icons. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and scripts asynchronously or deferred to improve performance. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices but could improve responsiveness and accessibility. SEO basics are covered with meta tags and structured navigation menus. Hosting is managed via Advantic nameservers. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in modernizing the tech stack and optimizing assets. No major technical errors or broken elements were detected in the provided HTML content.
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.
