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

The Aluminium-Fenster-Institut (AFI) operates as a non-profit Austrian industry platform dedicated to the aluminium and metal construction sector. It provides a 30-year established network and communication services, including licensing the Gemeinschaftsmarke ALU-FENSTER brand, organizing industry awards, and fostering cooperation among metal construction companies, architects, and related businesses. The website is professionally designed using WordPress with Bootstrap and FontAwesome, offering good mobile responsiveness and clear navigation. However, contact details are not prominently displayed on the main blog page, and no cookie consent mechanism is present, which may impact GDPR compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking security headers and formal security policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy, well-branded, and serves its niche audience effectively.

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

    • 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

  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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 26 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

AFI holds a strong market position as a specialized non-profit entity serving the Austrian aluminium and metal construction industry. Its business model revolves around licensing a community brand, providing marketing and communication services, and organizing prestigious industry awards. The target customers include metal construction companies, architects, and suppliers in Austria. The organization leverages its long-standing industry presence and network to maintain relevance and influence. Growth indicators include recent marketing initiatives and new leadership in communications. The partnership ecosystem appears focused on industry stakeholders without evident commercial advertising or third-party affiliations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may expose the organization to compliance risks under GDPR. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Include clear and accessible contact information on all main pages to enhance user trust and support.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 for JavaScript functionality. The site loads external resources from trusted domains and maintains a clean, structured HTML markup. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices such as meta tags and structured navigation are present. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed in the HTML content.
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.
