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

    • 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      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

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 Fertighausakademie operates within the real estate education sector, focusing on prefabricated housing in Austria. Its market positioning as the official ÖFV training center provides a competitive advantage and trust signal. The business model revolves around delivering specialized training and certification, targeting industry professionals and consumers. Revenue streams likely include course fees and workshops. The partnership with the Österreichischer Fertighausverband and use of a dedicated Moodle platform for e-learning indicate a mature ecosystem. The absence of direct contact details on the site suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly via partner sites or internal platforms. Growth potential exists in expanding digital offerings and increasing consumer awareness through informational events.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or security policy published, which could improve transparency and preparedness. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits external reporting channels. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's purpose but could benefit from additional hardening and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure from external researchers.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact information for business and security inquiries to enhance trust and communication.
  5. Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by Essential Addons and the Blocksy theme. The tech stack is current and widely supported, facilitating responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with video backgrounds and multiple CSS/JS assets loaded, which could be optimized further. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and semantic HTML. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with valid certificates. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and appropriate for the business needs.
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.
