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

The website alpenvereinaktiv.com serves as a comprehensive tour portal for Alpine clubs, offering detailed information on mountain tours, climbing, hiking, and other outdoor activities primarily in the Alpine region. It is affiliated with major Alpine associations such as DAV, OEAV, and AVS, which enhances its credibility and market position. The platform provides community features, current conditions, and subscription-based premium services, targeting outdoor enthusiasts and club members. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries including Leaflet.js for mapping and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured, providing a good user experience. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, but the absence of security headers and explicit privacy/cookie policies indicates room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data is a concern but does not negate the site's apparent legitimacy given its professional content and affiliations. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security practices.

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

2 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

  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.

    • 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

Alpenvereinaktiv.com occupies a niche market serving Alpine outdoor activity enthusiasts and club members. Its business model revolves around providing detailed tour information, community engagement, and premium subscription services. The platform leverages partnerships with established Alpine clubs, which likely supports its content and user base. The presence of multiple tour categories and current condition updates suggests a dynamic content strategy aimed at retaining active users. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates data-driven marketing and user behavior analysis. However, the absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies may limit user trust and regulatory compliance. The site’s moderate size and consistent branding position it as a specialized but professional player in the outdoor activity digital space.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The site uses Google Tag Manager, which requires careful configuration to avoid privacy issues. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. To improve, the site should implement recommended security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, and provide clear security contact information. These steps would enhance compliance with GDPR and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes modern JavaScript libraries such as Leaflet.js and Mapbox GL for interactive mapping, enhancing user engagement. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, indicating a data-driven approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, contributing to a good user experience. Performance appears moderate, with some deferred CSS loading and asynchronous script loading. No CMS or hosting provider details were detected. The site could benefit from improved SEO metadata completeness and enhanced security configurations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but has opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
