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

The Österreichische Apothekerkammer is the professional association representing pharmacists in Austria, providing a comprehensive range of services including pharmacy search, continuing education, legal information, and communication channels. The website serves as an important resource for pharmacists and the general public interested in pharmaceutical services and health topics. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, integrates modern web technologies such as Google Maps API, and employs a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The SSL configuration is robust with TLS 1.3 support and OCSP stapling, though it lacks HSTS and DNSSEC which could enhance security further. No blocking or WAF mechanisms interfere with content accessibility, allowing full analysis. Security posture is solid but could be improved by adding security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy. Overall, the site demonstrates a good balance of usability, compliance, and security suitable for a professional healthcare organization.

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

  2. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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

The Österreichische Apothekerkammer holds a key position in Austria's healthcare sector as the essential professional body for pharmacists. Its business model focuses on member services, education, and public health communication. The organization leverages partnerships, such as with ballderpharmazie.at, and maintains a strong social media presence to engage its audience. The website supports multiple user segments including pharmacists, healthcare professionals, and the public. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of digital tools like pharmacy search and service portals. The association's medium size and consistent branding reinforce its credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, valid SPF and DMARC records, and no detected SSL vulnerabilities. OCSP stapling is active, enhancing certificate validation performance. However, the absence of HSTS and DNSSEC reduces protection against certain attack vectors like protocol downgrade and DNS spoofing. No explicit security or incident response policies are publicly disclosed, which could hinder rapid vulnerability reporting and mitigation. The cookie consent tool is implemented properly, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the organization's risk profile but could be strengthened by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing or cache poisoning.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden browser security.
  5. Enhance public documentation of security policies and incident response contacts to build trust and readiness.

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system widely used in Europe. It uses modern frontend technologies including compressed CSS and JS assets, Google Maps API for location services, and integrates third-party services like SendGrid for email and CCM19 for cookie consent management. Hosting is managed via APA network infrastructure with dedicated nameservers. Performance is moderate with a page load time of approximately 3 seconds and a page size of about 166 KB, which is acceptable but could be optimized further. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured navigation. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers indicates areas for technical improvement. Overall, the infrastructure supports the organization's digital needs effectively with room for modernization in security and performance optimization.
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.
