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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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"

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 holds a strong regional presence with a focus on cultural and community events, leveraging social media and digital tools to maintain engagement. The event attracts thousands annually, indicating successful brand recognition and community trust. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships and local partnerships, as evidenced by sponsor logos and partner mentions. The website supports growth through digital marketing tools and analytics, enabling data-driven decisions. The absence of explicit terms of service or security policies suggests room for maturity in formal governance documentation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and the X-Frame-Options header set to DENY, mitigating clickjacking risks. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy protection. However, the lack of additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicate potential gaps in security governance. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, which could impact readiness and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress with WPBakery Page Builder, jQuery, and several modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Carousel and Lightbox2, providing a rich interactive experience. Google Analytics and eTracker are used for analytics, while Signalize manages push notifications. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices like meta descriptions and canonical links. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and optimized CSS. Hosting details are not explicit, but the domain uses multiple UI-DNS name servers. The site could benefit from enhanced accessibility and additional security hardening.
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.
