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

TheWrongBiennale is an international digital art biennial platform that connects artists, curators, institutions, brands, and audiences worldwide through decentralized online exhibitions and events. The platform focuses on contemporary new media culture and hosts curated exhibitions, screenings, and special events exploring digital art's evolving language. The website is built on the Cargo Collective platform and leverages modern web technologies, providing a mobile-optimized and visually coherent user experience. However, it lacks formal privacy and cookie policies, and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, which may raise privacy compliance concerns. The domain is well-established since 2008, indicating a stable presence in the digital art community.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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 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"

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

TheWrongBiennale operates in the niche media and cultural sector, focusing on digital art exhibitions and collaborations. Its business model appears to be non-commercial or non-profit, emphasizing community engagement and artistic experimentation. The platform's market position is that of a specialized international biennale with a decentralized approach, appealing to artists and cultural institutions globally. The website's content and calls for submissions indicate an open and inclusive approach to participation. The use of Cargo Collective suggests reliance on third-party hosting and CMS services, which streamlines operations but may limit customization. The absence of detailed business registration or physical contact information suggests a primarily virtual and community-driven organization.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and clientTransferProhibited statuses, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represent missed opportunities to enhance security posture. No security policy or incident response contact information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager without visible cookie consent mechanisms may expose the site to privacy compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better technical controls and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance browser security.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Review and minimize tracking scripts or provide clear user opt-in options to enhance privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on the Cargo Collective platform and uses a combination of jQuery, Handlebars.js, and Google Analytics/Tag Manager for functionality and tracking. The HTML and CSS are valid and support responsive design, providing a good user experience on mobile devices. Performance is moderate, with some external dependencies on Cargo's CDN and Google services. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains basic usability standards. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy controls.
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.
