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

The website www.tag-der-restaurierung.de serves as the official platform for the Verband der Restauratoren, a professional association dedicated to the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage in Germany and Europe. It primarily promotes the European Day of Conservation-Restoration, an event held annually to showcase restoration projects and raise public awareness. The site offers detailed event information, digital content such as videos and podcasts, and resources for restoration professionals. The target audience includes restoration experts, cultural institutions, and the general public interested in heritage preservation. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins like Yoast SEO and Events Calendar Pro, ensuring good SEO and event management capabilities. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and integrates a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via consentmanager.net, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a detailed cookie consent banner, indicating compliance with GDPR. However, explicit security headers and incident response policies are not evident. No vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected in the content or scripts. The domain registration data aligns well with the website's purpose and business history, supporting its legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for a cultural heritage association. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing explicit security and incident response policies, and maintaining regular updates to plugins and core software to mitigate risks.

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. 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';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 Verband der Restauratoren holds a prominent position in the cultural heritage sector in Germany, coordinating the European Day of Conservation-Restoration and collaborating with the European umbrella organization ECCO. Its business model is non-profit and event-driven, focusing on advocacy, education, and professional networking. The association leverages digital channels and social media to engage its audience and promote restoration awareness. Partnerships with ECCO and other cultural bodies strengthen its market presence. Growth indicators include expanding event participation and digital content offerings. The organization operates primarily in the cultural and educational sector, targeting professionals and the public interested in heritage conservation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism that offers granular user controls. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene but should consider formalizing security policies and implementing additional HTTP headers to strengthen defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and provide detailed information on analytics data usage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using well-known plugins such as Yoast SEO and Events Calendar Pro, which provide strong SEO and event management capabilities. The use of Bootstrap ensures responsive design and good mobile optimization. JavaScript libraries like jQuery and FontAwesome are used for UI enhancements. The site loads scripts asynchronously where possible, improving performance. Cookie consent is managed by consentmanager.net, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed, but DNS and WHOIS data indicate a stable and legitimate domain setup. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times further. The site structure and metadata are well-formed, supporting SEO and social media integration.
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.
