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

ABAX Informationstechnik GmbH is a well-established Austrian IT service provider with over 25 years of experience, offering a broad portfolio of IT infrastructure, support, security, and data analytics services. The company is part of the Roxcel Group, enhancing its enterprise readiness and market credibility. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and targets businesses of various sizes seeking comprehensive IT solutions. Technically, the site uses WordPress with Elementor and integrates modern marketing and consent tools, but suffers from a critical lack of valid SSL/TLS configuration, impacting security posture significantly. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the business presents a trustworthy and professional image, though security improvements are urgently needed.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

ABAX holds a strong market position in Austria as a trusted IT specialist, leveraging its long history and affiliation with Roxcel Group. Its business model focuses on B2B managed IT services, including IT support, infrastructure, security, cloud, and advanced data analytics. The company targets medium to large enterprises and offers tailored solutions for digital transformation challenges such as Industrie 4.0 and IoT. Partnerships with major technology vendors like Fortinet, Cisco, Microsoft, and VMware reinforce its competitive advantage. The website reflects a mature digital presence with SEO optimization and structured data, supporting lead generation and brand trust.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical issue for any IT service provider. While several security headers are implemented, the missing TLS protocols, HSTS, and OCSP stapling reduce protection against common web threats. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies indicates awareness of GDPR requirements, but the technical security gaps pose a risk to user data confidentiality and integrity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to build trust.
  6. Regularly audit and update security headers and cross-origin policies to tighten security posture.
  7. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience.
  8. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 using the Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO Premium plugin, indicating a modern CMS and SEO framework. It uses Apache as the web server and integrates Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, including FontAwesome and Swiper.js for UI components. Performance metrics are not provided but inferred as slow due to zero loadTime/resourceCount/pageSize data. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is well implemented with meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the lack of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is a significant technical risk. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.
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.
