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

UP Projects is a small, specialized organization focused on curating and commissioning contemporary art for public spaces. Their business model centers on collaboration with artists and communities to deliver culturally relevant public art projects. The website reflects a niche cultural arts entity with a consistent brand and good quality content. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and integrates common analytics and social media embedding tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism present but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy transparency and security hardening.

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. 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 256-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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

UP Projects operates in the cultural arts sector, focusing on public art commissioning and curation. Their market position is niche, targeting communities and artists interested in contemporary public art. The organization appears stable with a domain age of over 20 years, suggesting established operations. Revenue streams likely include commissions and partnerships with public entities or cultural organizations. The website's integration with Eventbrite and social media indicates active engagement with audiences and event promotion. No direct contact information or certifications are displayed, which could be improved to enhance credibility. The absence of privacy and terms pages may reflect a smaller organizational scale or oversight in compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or updates, which are positive security indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or security policies are published on the site, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The use of third-party analytics and social media embeds introduces moderate tracking and potential privacy concerns. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  4. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and user support.
  5. Consider publishing an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, indicating a contemporary technical stack. It uses external services such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Instagram embeds, and Eventbrite widgets for analytics, marketing, and social media integration. Fonts are loaded from fonts.net. The domain registrar is Netregistry Wholesale Pty Ltd, and the domain is over 20 years old, indicating a mature infrastructure. Performance appears moderate with preloading of scripts and responsive design. Accessibility is basic but present, and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards are well implemented. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt in security hardening. Hosting provider details beyond registrar are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
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.
