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, hiking, ski tours, climbing, and related outdoor activities primarily in the Alpine region but also worldwide. It is affiliated with major alpine organizations such as DAV, OEAV, and AVS, which enhances its credibility and market position within the niche of alpine sports and tourism. The platform provides community features, current mountain conditions, and a tour planner, catering to outdoor enthusiasts seeking reliable and up-to-date information. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries including Leaflet.js and Mapbox GL for interactive mapping, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The website is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured navigation. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that slightly detracts from trustworthiness, although the site's professional presentation and affiliations mitigate this concern. Overall, the site is a valuable resource for its target audience but should enhance transparency and security compliance to strengthen its risk posture.

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 operates in the outdoor recreation sector, focusing on alpine tours and community engagement. Its business model appears to be a freemium platform with optional Pro subscriptions, targeting hiking, climbing, and ski touring enthusiasts. The site leverages partnerships with established alpine clubs, which likely supports content quality and user trust. The platform's extensive tour database and current condition updates position it as a go-to resource in its niche. Growth potential lies in expanding community features and enhancing mobile and social media integration. The use of Google Tag Manager suggests active marketing and user behavior analysis. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy policies may limit user trust and regulatory compliance. Strategic partnerships with alpine organizations are a key competitive advantage, while the domain registration inconsistency warrants monitoring.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance and user trust. Incident response and security contact information are not publicly available, limiting transparency and preparedness. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces tracking but no clear opt-in consent mechanism was found, posing privacy compliance risks. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site should implement recommended security headers, privacy disclosures, and incident response contacts to enhance its security maturity and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response channels to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data inconsistency to enhance domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based tech stack with Leaflet.js and Mapbox GL for interactive maps, enhancing user experience for tour exploration. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and marketing, indicating active user engagement tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, supporting a broad user base. Performance appears moderate with caching and asynchronous script loading. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident, and security headers are missing, representing technical debt. The site could benefit from enhanced SEO metadata and structured data for improved search visibility. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but requires security and compliance enhancements to mitigate risks.
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.
