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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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
  • 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 company operates in the technology sector as a small-sized Drupal-focused service provider. Its business model revolves around delivering tailored Drupal web solutions and consulting to a diverse client base including government, non-profits, and media organizations. The presence of reputable clients and event participation indicates a strong market presence in the Austrian Drupal ecosystem. Revenue streams likely derive from project-based engagements and consulting contracts. The company maintains a professional online presence with consistent branding and trust signals but lacks publicly visible direct contact details, which may impact lead generation. No related or subsidiary domains were identified, suggesting a focused standalone operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach. The missing WHOIS data and lack of direct contact information for security incidents reduce overall trust and incident response preparedness. Enhancing security documentation and adding explicit headers would improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to facilitate communication and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.
  5. Consider publishing WHOIS information or using a reputable privacy protection service with transparency to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Matomo for analytics and Quicklink for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links. Performance is moderate with prefetching and deferred script loading. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more explicit performance metrics. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses cookie consent to comply with privacy regulations.
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.
