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

The Royal Ballet and Opera website serves as a digital platform for the Royal Opera House's ballet and opera performances, offering ticket sales, streaming services, and cinema screenings. The site targets a broad audience interested in cultural and performing arts, positioning itself as a leading institution in the UK's media and arts sector. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including React, Google Analytics, and Tag Manager, with a CMS likely based on Prismic. The website demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and user experience, though some privacy compliance elements such as explicit privacy and cookie policies are not evident in the provided content. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS and tracking controls, but lacks visible security headers and formal incident response contacts. The WHOIS data for the domain www.rbo.org.uk is unavailable due to Nominet UK naming rules, indicating the domain is likely a subdomain or alias rather than a standalone registered domain, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy, with room for improvement in privacy transparency and security header implementation.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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 Royal Ballet and Opera operates within the media and cultural sector, delivering high-quality performing arts content through live events, cinema screenings, and digital streaming. Its business model includes ticket sales, online streaming subscriptions, and educational outreach. The organization benefits from strong brand recognition and partnerships, including sponsorship by Rolex. The website's extensive use of analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy aimed at audience engagement and growth. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests potential areas for enhancing customer trust and regulatory compliance. The domain structure suggests a relationship with the main Royal Opera House domain, reinforcing brand cohesion.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Google Tag Manager with consent categories, reflecting a baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a security.txt file and incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for vulnerability reporting. Privacy compliance is partial, with no clear cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy policy found. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header implementation, privacy disclosures, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  4. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection officer to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance with data protection regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies, likely React, with CSS Modules or Styled Components for styling. It uses Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit for typography, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site loads scripts asynchronously to improve performance and includes an anti-flicker snippet for better user experience. The CMS appears to be Prismic, inferred from image URLs. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. However, no hosting provider or server infrastructure details were found. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The lack of visible security headers and privacy policy pages indicates some technical debt in compliance and security best practices.
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.
