Museen der Stadt Aschaffenburg · Government · Germany

High risk. 11 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Security headers and 3 other checks.

Security score

37/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website represents the Stiftsschatz exhibition of the Museen der Stadt Aschaffenburg, a cultural institution showcasing medieval treasures. It serves a local/regional audience interested in historical and religious artifacts. The site provides basic information and navigation in multiple languages but lacks comprehensive contact and policy information. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery, with Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The security posture is moderate with IP anonymization in analytics but lacks visible security headers and privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security, and contact transparency to improve trust and compliance.

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

11 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

  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
    • 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.

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 government or non-profit cultural entity focusing on heritage preservation and public education. Its market position is local with a niche audience interested in medieval religious art. The business model is informational and service-oriented, relying on public funding or city support. The partnership with the official city museums portal strengthens its legitimacy. Growth potential lies in digital engagement and expanded visitor services. The lack of visible contact and policy information may limit user trust and engagement.

Security posture

The current security maturity is basic. The site uses HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed) and anonymizes IP addresses in Google Analytics, which is positive. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The site should improve these areas to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to improve protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for visitor and security incident reporting.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web stack with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, including jQuery and custom scripts. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking, with IP anonymization enabled. The site structure is simple and navigation is clear, supporting multiple languages. No modern CMS or frameworks are detected, suggesting a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Accessibility and SEO are basic, with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS uses media service name servers. Technical debt appears low but modernization could improve maintainability and security.
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.
