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. 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

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

      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

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 non-profit educational entity under Sabancı University, leveraging its academic affiliation to enhance credibility and outreach. Its business model focuses on cultural preservation, education, and community engagement through exhibitions, learning programs, and digital archives. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, memberships (SSM Dostu Kart), donations, and retail sales via the museum shop. The museum maintains partnerships with sponsors and digital platforms, expanding its ecosystem. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital presence. The museum's strategic positioning as a cultural landmark in Istanbul supports sustained visitor engagement and educational impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Facebook Pixel indicates user tracking, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found, representing a compliance gap. Security headers are partially implemented; Content-Security-Policy and other headers could be strengthened. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by adopting comprehensive security policies, explicit user consent mechanisms, and publishing vulnerability handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page to improve trust and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js for frontend rendering, Chakra UI for styling, and Drupal as the CMS backend. Hosting is provided by IHS Telekom, Inc. The site loads moderately fast with responsive design optimized for mobile devices. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The use of Vimeo for video content and Facebook Pixel for analytics indicates integration with third-party services. Technical debt appears low, but opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce risks and enhance user experience.
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.
