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

PACE.V4 is a cultural platform dedicated to supporting and promoting performing arts in Central Europe. The website serves as an information hub and networking platform for stakeholders in the performing arts community across the Visegrad countries and neighboring regions. It provides event information, project updates, and links to partner organizations. The business model appears to be non-profit or cultural collaboration focused, with a regional scope and a small organizational size. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Enfold theme, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile responsiveness. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy compliance, although no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages were found. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit contact information for incident response. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy for its niche audience but could improve in privacy transparency and security best practices.

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

6 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 platform occupies a niche position in the cultural sector, focusing on performing arts in Central Europe. Its partnerships with regional cultural funds and European Union programs suggest stable funding and collaborative opportunities. The business model likely relies on grants and partnerships rather than commercial revenue. The target audience includes artists, cultural institutions, and event organizers. The website's content and linked partner domains reinforce its role as a regional cultural network. Growth potential depends on expanding digital presence and enhancing user engagement. The lack of direct contact information and limited social media presence may constrain outreach. Strategic partnerships with recognized cultural institutions strengthen its credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The blocked Google Analytics script suggests either user blocking or misconfiguration, impacting analytics reliability. No contact information for security incidents or data protection officers was found, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the HTML content. Regular updates and security header implementation are recommended to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection.
  3. Ensure analytics scripts are properly configured and compliant with privacy regulations.
  4. Publish clear contact information including security incident contacts and data protection officer details.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with the Enfold theme, leveraging jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with some scripts deferred and fonts conditionally loaded based on cookie consent. The Google Analytics script is present but blocked, indicating possible privacy settings or user opt-out. No advanced JavaScript frameworks or modern frontend technologies detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration. Technical debt appears low but could benefit from improved security headers and privacy documentation.
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.
