Stadtkino Basel operates as a cultural cinema venue in Basel, Switzerland, offering a diverse program of film screenings, special series, and events. The website reflects a well-established regional cinema with a focus on community engagement and cultural enrichment. The business model centers on ticket sales, memberships, and hosting film-related events, targeting general audiences and film enthusiasts. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience.
Technically, the website uses a modest tech stack including jQuery and Lightbox.js, with Google Fonts for typography. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. No major CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, but security headers are lacking, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy and terms of service, but cookie consent mechanisms are absent.
Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing security headers, vulnerability disclosure policies, and cookie consent. The domain registration data aligns well with the business identity, supporting legitimacy. No suspicious or malicious indicators were found. The website content is safe for general audiences, with no adult or explicit material detected.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Stadtkino Basel holds a strong position as a niche cultural cinema in the Swiss media sector, focusing on curated film programming and community events. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized film series, collaborations with cultural partners, and a loyal local audience. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, memberships, and event hosting. The target customers are local residents, film aficionados, and cultural consumers. The partnership ecosystem includes ticketing services (advance-ticket.ch) and cultural organizations. Growth indicators are not explicit but the website's active programming and events suggest ongoing engagement. The business operates independently without visible parent or subsidiary companies.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is acceptable for a cultural venue but could be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.
Recommendations
Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities in scripts or server configuration.
Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a lightweight technology stack centered on jQuery and Lightbox.js, with Google Fonts integration. The HTML structure is valid and the site is mobile responsive, providing a good user experience on various devices. Performance is moderate, with no heavy frameworks detected. The CMS is not identified, suggesting a custom solution. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal data collection. The site lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, representing technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
