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

Thüringer Theaterverband e.V. is a regional non-profit organization focused on supporting and promoting theater and cultural activities in the German state of Thuringia. The website serves as a portal for information about events, membership, festivals, and theater-related services. It targets theater enthusiasts, artists, and cultural institutions within the region. The organization maintains a moderate digital presence with integration of social media and a dedicated theater portal partner site. Technically, the website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing several LMF modules for UI components and sliders. The site employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Slider, and it is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, using Matomo for analytics with moderate user tracking. From a security perspective, the website demonstrates good practices including HTTPS enforcement and CSRF protection cookies. However, it lacks advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is supported by a DSGVO & Impressum page, but no dedicated privacy officer or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, the website is professionally designed with good content quality and user experience. It is trustworthy and safe for general audiences. Strategic improvements could focus on enhancing security headers, publishing clear security policies, and providing direct contact information for incident response and data protection inquiries.

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. 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 Thüringer Theaterverband operates as a cultural non-profit entity with a clear regional focus on Thuringia, Germany. Its market position is that of a key facilitator and promoter of theater arts within the region, offering services such as event organization, membership management, and cultural advocacy. The business model is centered on supporting the theater community rather than commercial profit. The organization leverages partnerships, notably with the Thüringer Theaterportal, to extend its reach and service offerings. Growth indicators include active event promotion and social media engagement. The website content and structure reflect a stable, small-sized organization with consistent branding and a clear mission. Competitive advantages include its regional specialization and integration with local cultural networks. Revenue streams are likely based on membership fees, event sponsorships, and public funding. The partnership ecosystem is modest but relevant to the cultural sector. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance digital engagement and transparency around security and privacy policies to build further trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and essential cookies for session management and CSRF protection are in place. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, and Matomo analytics is used with user consent. However, the absence of advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits readiness for security events. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is evident but could be improved by naming a data protection officer and publishing a dedicated security policy. The security culture appears basic but functional, suitable for a small non-profit organization. Recommendations include enhancing header security, documenting incident response procedures, and conducting regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement advanced HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices, incident response procedures, and contact information for security incidents.
  3. Designate and publish contact details for a Data Protection Officer to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear terms of service and vulnerability disclosure guidelines.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, leveraging multiple LMF modules for UI elements such as icon sets, tiles, and sliders. It uses jQuery and jQuery UI for interactive components, Colorbox for lightbox functionality, and Slick Slider for image carousels. The site is served over HTTPS with valid SSL, ensuring encrypted communication. Performance is moderate, with a responsive design that adapts well to mobile devices. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and canonical URLs present but no Open Graph or Twitter Card metadata detected. Accessibility features are minimal but present, such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support in some scripts. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from further optimization and security enhancements.
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.
