Valga Muuseum is a regional cultural and educational institution based in Valga, Estonia, providing museum exhibitions, educational programs, research activities, and a museum shop.

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

    • 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

  2. 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

  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 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';…

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 museum operates as a non-profit cultural institution focused on education and heritage preservation. Its market position is regional with a clear focus on Valga and surrounding communities. The business model revolves around public engagement through exhibitions, educational workshops, and events, supplemented by a museum shop. The website content and frequent news updates indicate active community involvement and cultural promotion. The presence of social media channels supports outreach and audience engagement. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent entity. The museum's longevity and consistent domain registration support credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. The lack of a cookie consent banner despite tracking scripts suggests partial GDPR compliance. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected in the HTML or scripts. Overall, the security posture is acceptable for a cultural institution but could be improved with enhanced privacy and security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Greativ CMS platform and uses popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Plyr for UI and media playback. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook SDK for analytics and social media features. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses CDN-hosted libraries for performance. The domain is hosted under Telia Eesti AS, a reputable Estonian provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but could be enhanced with structured data (JSON-LD) for richer search results. No critical technical debt or errors were detected in the HTML content.
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.
