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

7 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

    • 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

  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 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 young academy rostock operates within the education sector, targeting musically gifted children and youth primarily in Germany. Its business model is non-profit and educational, leveraging partnerships with local sponsors, music schools, and cultural institutions. The affiliation with Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock enhances its credibility and market position. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, donations, and possibly tuition for early studies. The website's content and event announcements indicate active community engagement and a growing ecosystem of partners. The institution maintains a focused niche with limited direct competition, emphasizing quality musical education and talent development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a cookie consent mechanism are notable gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The minimal use of tracking and analytics reduces privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, formal policies, and consent mechanisms to align with best practices and GDPR requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with EU cookie laws and improve privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, complemented by modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Modernizr for enhanced interactivity and compatibility. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features like skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with efficient use of images and CSS. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the hosting provider is not explicitly identified, and no advanced analytics or marketing tools are detected, indicating a focus on content delivery over commercial tracking. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is lacking.
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.
