Technically, the site runs on Joomla CMS with modern libraries like jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics, showing moderate performance and good mobile optimization.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 organization operates as a small-sized non-profit cultural entity with a stable local market position supported by municipal and cantonal institutions. Its business model revolves around event hosting, membership benefits, and venue rental. The partnership ecosystem includes local government bodies and regional sponsors, enhancing credibility and resource access. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on community engagement and cultural promotion rather than commercial revenue generation. Growth indicators include active event scheduling and newsletter subscriptions. The absence of e-commerce or direct sales suggests a service-oriented approach. Strategic observations highlight the importance of digital presence for community outreach and the potential to enhance privacy and security practices to align with evolving compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, CSRF tokens in forms, and email obfuscation to reduce spam. However, it lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, and does not publish a security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable gap. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are missing, which could impact trust in case of security events. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit cultural site but could be improved to meet higher standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS, leveraging jQuery and Google Fonts for frontend functionality and styling. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics integration, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors or broken elements detected. The use of CSRF tokens in forms and email obfuscation are positive security practices. However, the absence of explicit cookie consent and advanced security headers suggests some technical debt in privacy and security implementation. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy compliance areas.
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.
