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

APK Pensionskasse AG operates as a leading Austrian pension fund provider specializing in occupational retirement provisions. The company offers services to employers and employees to facilitate additional pension savings, managing contributions and investments to provide monthly payouts upon retirement. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear business information and regulatory compliance references. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and protected by Sucuri Cloudproxy, with Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious tracking. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS implementation is a critical security gap that undermines user trust and data protection. Privacy compliance is well addressed through cookie banners and a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the site demonstrates solid business credibility but requires urgent security improvements.

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

  • 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

APK Pensionskasse AG is part of the APK Gruppe, with several related subsidiaries in insurance, real estate, and pension services. The company targets Austrian employees, employers, and pensioners, offering a regulated financial product with tax advantages. The business model relies on managing pension contributions and capital market investments. The website supports customer engagement via a client portal, newsletter, and detailed informational resources. The presence of regulatory links and certifications enhances trust. The company maintains a moderate-sized digital footprint with consistent branding and a focus on transparency.

Security posture

The website employs several security headers and is protected by Sucuri Cloudproxy WAF, indicating a baseline security posture. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a severe vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No explicit incident response or security policy information is available. The site uses minimal tracking with Matomo configured to disable cookies, supporting privacy. Recommendations include immediate SSL deployment, enabling modern TLS protocols, and publishing security policies and incident contacts to improve security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure OCSP stapling and session resumption.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits of headers and CSP.
  5. Consider adding structured data (JSON-LD) for improved SEO and trust signals.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, with a modern responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Hosting is via Sucuri Cloudproxy, providing WAF protection. Analytics are handled by Matomo with privacy-respecting configurations. Performance data is unavailable, but the site includes mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The absence of HTTPS is a major technical deficiency. The site uses multiple CSS and JS assets, compressed and merged for efficiency. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires security upgrades and performance monitoring.
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.
