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

5 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

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention stadtmuseum-bergkamen.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for stadtmuseum-bergkamen.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 strong regional position as a cultural and educational hub with a 60-year history. Its business model is publicly funded, offering free admission and community engagement through exhibitions and programs. The website supports this mission with multilingual greetings and detailed event information. Partnerships with local and national museum associations enhance credibility. The digital presence is modest but effective, targeting local residents, tourists, and educational groups. Growth opportunities could include enhanced digital engagement and expanded online services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, cookie consent, and CAPTCHA protections. Accessibility features indicate a commitment to inclusive design. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly documented, which could be addressed to strengthen trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.
  5. Enhance digital engagement by integrating analytics and marketing tools with privacy-respecting configurations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a German municipal CMS platform with Bootstrap and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. It uses Nivo Slider for image carousels and integrates accessibility tools (Eye-Able) and cookie consent plugins. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Hosting appears stable and localized in Germany. Technical debt is low, but modernization could include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the museum's mission effectively.
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.
