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

Alpen Sports GmbH operates a specialized ski school and sports service business located in Neukirchen am Großvenediger, Austria. The company offers ski courses for children and adults, snowboard lessons, private instruction, ski equipment rental, and a sports shop. Positioned as a local leader in winter sports education and equipment rental, Alpen Sports targets ski vacationers and families seeking professional ski training and equipment services. The website supports online booking of ski packages, enhancing customer convenience and business reach. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies including jQuery and Bootstrap components. It integrates Google Analytics with IP anonymization and employs a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and SEO practices, though some accessibility features are basic. External integrations include social media feeds and partner links, reflecting a mature digital presence. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and enforces cookie consent. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract from the professional presentation and contact transparency. Overall, Alpen Sports presents a trustworthy and professionally managed online presence suitable for its hospitality sector niche. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency would further enhance its security posture and customer trust.

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.

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 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

      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';…

  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Alpen Sports GmbH holds a strong local market position as a ski school and sports equipment provider in the Austrian ski resort region of Neukirchen am Großvenediger. Its business model combines education (ski and snowboard courses), equipment rental, and retail sales, supported by online booking capabilities. The company targets families, children, and adult ski enthusiasts, leveraging partnerships with regional ski rental services and travel companies like Snowtrex. The website content and social media integration indicate active engagement with customers and a focus on quality service delivery. Revenue streams likely include course fees, equipment rental charges, and retail sales. The business appears small-sized with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The partnership ecosystem and digital maturity suggest a stable growth trajectory within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and SSL encryption, cookie consent with opt-in and revocation, and anonymized Google Analytics tracking. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts (Juicer, Elfsight) introduces potential risk vectors that require ongoing monitoring. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but would benefit from enhanced security header implementation and published security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring a solid foundation for content management and scalability. Frontend technologies include jQuery and Bootstrap components for UI elements like carousels. Google Analytics is integrated with privacy-conscious settings such as IP anonymization and consent-based activation. The site loads multiple CSS and JS bundles, indicating modular asset management. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in reducing asset sizes and leveraging caching. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and layouts. SEO is supported by meta tags, canonical links, and hreflang attributes for multilingual support. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and keyboard navigation hints, but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility.
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.
