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

Accessible Media is a non-profit organization based in Austria dedicated to promoting and supporting barrier-free media. The website serves as a platform for organizations, companies, and institutions involved in accessible media, offering services such as consulting, service provider mediation, and public awareness events including the annual Accessibility Event (A-TAG). The organization positions itself as a key player in the Austrian accessibility landscape with a focus on practical accessibility solutions rather than just compliance checklists. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and incorporates modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and Complianz GDPR for SEO and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. It employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The WHOIS data is consistent with the website's claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adding formal security policies and headers. The overall risk assessment is low, with no signs of malicious content or suspicious behavior. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, adding incident response contacts, implementing security headers, and maintaining regular plugin audits to ensure ongoing security and compliance.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Accessible Media operates as a specialized non-profit interest group focused on the accessibility of digital media in Austria. Its market positioning is that of a facilitator and advocate rather than a direct service provider, emphasizing collaboration with service providers and stakeholders. The business model revolves around membership, consulting, event organization, and knowledge dissemination. The organization targets entities requiring accessible media solutions, including public institutions and private companies. The presence of a long-standing event portfolio indicates sustained engagement and community building. The website's partnership with the A-TAG event site suggests a focused ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and consulting services. The organization's operations appear transparent and community-oriented, with a clear mission and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant plugin. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent, supporting legitimacy. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which could be a gap in security culture. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit organization but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy on the website to inform users and stakeholders.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

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.
