47/100

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

apis labor GmbH is an Austrian company operating as the first fully digitalized GMP laboratory in Austria, offering laboratory and consulting services primarily to the life science sector across Austria and the European Union. The company emphasizes professionalism, flexibility, and extensive experience in the life science field. The website is built on the Squarespace platform, featuring professional design and basic mobile optimization, but lacks performance metrics and advanced accessibility features. Security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, no modern TLS protocols enabled, and missing security headers such as HSTS. Privacy compliance is partial with a cookie consent banner present but no privacy policy or terms of service pages found. Contact information and social media presence are clearly provided, supporting business credibility. Overall, the website presents a legitimate business but requires significant improvements in security and privacy compliance to meet modern standards.

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

5 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The company positions itself as a pioneering digital GMP laboratory in Austria with EU-wide service reach, targeting life science industry clients. Its business model focuses on providing laboratory and consulting services leveraging digitalization for efficiency and compliance. The website content and social media links indicate a small-sized enterprise with a professional approach. The lack of detailed business certifications or extensive partner domains suggests a focused niche operation. Marketing tools like Google Analytics are used for visitor tracking, indicating some level of digital maturity. The absence of privacy and security policies may impact trust with privacy-conscious clients.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is low, primarily due to the lack of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols or cipher suites are enabled, and security headers like HSTS are disabled, further weakening the security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. The presence of cookie consent banner is positive but insufficient without a privacy policy. Overall, the site is vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks and does not follow best practices for web security.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites to secure communications.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance security transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its built-in CMS and infrastructure. It uses Typekit for fonts and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site lacks performance data, indicating potential issues with load speed or monitoring. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The absence of HTTPS and modern security protocols is a significant technical risk. The site uses standard Squarespace scripts and styles, with no custom frameworks detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small business website but requires security upgrades.
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.
