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

9 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

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 in the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on cultural preservation and education. Its business model revolves around providing exhibitions, educational activities, and event hosting, supported by publication sales. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the museum's operational timeline, indicating legitimacy. The website targets a broad audience including schools and families, leveraging digital tools to enhance visitor engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main page suggests a preference for contact via dedicated contact forms. The museum maintains a consistent brand image and trust signals such as structured data and cookie compliance, positioning itself as a reputable regional institution.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and DNSSEC enabled, which strengthens domain security. It uses updated WordPress core and plugins, minimizing vulnerability exposure. The presence of a cookie consent banner with opt-in/out options indicates compliance with privacy regulations. However, the site lacks advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could further harden security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding explicit contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to facilitate communication and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.4, utilizing Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It incorporates Smart Slider 3 for dynamic content presentation and uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons. The hosting provider is inferred as Websupport based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced SEO and social media integration via Open Graph tags. Cookie consent is managed by Complianz GDPR plugin, ensuring compliance. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
