Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in Security headers and GDPR outside view.

Security score

Risk levelMedium

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

VOLUMES is a small non-profit organization based in Zürich, Switzerland, focused on supporting the DIY facet of art publishing through an annual book fair and related events. The website is built on Drupal 10 and uses modern web technologies such as Polymer and Flickity for UI components. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, providing clear information about the event and participants. However, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and security headers, which impacts its overall security and compliance posture. The domain uses privacy protection in WHOIS, which is typical and justified for a non-profit cultural entity. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security measures.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  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

The organization occupies a niche cultural market supporting independent art publishers and artists, primarily in Switzerland but with international participants. Its business model is non-profit, relying on events and community engagement rather than commercial sales. The website serves as an informational and promotional platform for the annual book fair and related activities. The participant list includes numerous independent publishers and artists, indicating a strong community presence. The lack of direct contact details and policies suggests a focus on event promotion rather than direct commercial transactions or data collection.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the provided data. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security incident contacts, and security headers indicates gaps in compliance and best practices. The site does not appear to use analytics or tracking scripts, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails or phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Verify and enforce HTTPS with strong TLS configurations and regularly audit for vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal 10 CMS with Polymer web components and Flickity for carousel functionality, indicating a modern and modular front-end approach. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no obvious broken elements or errors. The lack of analytics and tracking scripts suggests minimal data collection. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of documented privacy and cookie management, which could impact compliance and user trust.
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.
