Risk levelLow

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

Anticimex Austria operates as a professional pest control and pigeon deterrence service provider, targeting both private and business customers within Austria. The company offers a broad range of services including pest identification, wood protection, mold remediation, room disinfection, and innovative solutions like Anticimex SMART for gift-free pest control. Their market position is that of an established regional player with a comprehensive service portfolio. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Gatsby, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The presence of cookie consent and analytics tools indicates a moderate level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses some best practices but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though improvements in privacy and security transparency are recommended.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Anticimex Austria's business model revolves around providing pest control and related environmental services to a diverse customer base including private individuals and commercial sectors. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a wide array of specialized services and leveraging technology such as Anticimex SMART. The company appears to have a strong branding consistency and a clear market focus on Austria. Revenue streams likely include service contracts, one-time treatments, and technology-enabled monitoring solutions. The website's structured navigation and content suggest a mature digital presence, supporting customer acquisition and retention. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified in the content provided.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Freespee introduces potential privacy and security considerations that require ongoing management. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie consent mechanism but lacks a clear privacy policy. Enhancing security transparency and implementing recommended headers would strengthen the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information to improve security readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, which provide a performant and scalable static site generation approach. Tailwind CSS is used for styling, ensuring responsive and consistent design. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, along with CookieHub for cookie consent management. Forms are handled via a third-party script from anticimex.com, indicating centralized form management. The site shows good mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, there is no explicit hosting provider information or server-level security headers visible in the HTML content. Performance appears fast with prefetching of key pages. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve privacy documentation to reduce technical 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.
