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

9 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. 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';…

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 focusing on exhibitions, educational projects, and visitor services. Its market position is local/regional with a target audience of general public and cultural enthusiasts. The business model centers on public engagement and cultural preservation rather than commercial revenue. The website lacks explicit business contact details and formal policies, which could be improved to enhance credibility. The use of Google Analytics and sharing plugins suggests some marketing and outreach efforts. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the site data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no advanced security headers were detected, and no security or incident response policies are published. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers, publishing policies, and providing clear security contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.2.2 with the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Fonts. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and uses AddToAny for social sharing. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with screen reader support plugins. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. However, the hosting provider is not identified, and no advanced caching or CDN usage was evident. The site could benefit from enhanced security configurations and formalized privacy and security documentation.
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.
