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. 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

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 operates primarily in the non-profit cultural sector, leveraging partnerships with institutions like the MedUni Wien and the Architektur im Ringturm exhibition series. Their business model revolves around sponsorship, cultural event hosting, and social engagement programs. The website content and structure suggest a focus on transparency and community outreach, with clear contact information and newsletter signups. The absence of terms of service and explicit security policies may indicate areas for organizational growth. The partnership ecosystem is well integrated, supporting their mission and enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent banners that comply with GDPR. However, there is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are best practices for organizational transparency and user trust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Tag Commander for marketing and tracking is managed with user consent. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting an opportunity to strengthen defenses against common web attacks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced with formal policies and technical headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with popular plugins like Yoast SEO and Formidable Forms, indicating a modern and maintainable tech stack. The presence of jQuery and Swiper.js supports interactive UI elements. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available, but the site uses CDN services for scripts and images. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism integrated with Tag Commander, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility improvements are recommended to modernize the infrastructure further.
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.
