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

ASKÖ WAT Wien is a well-established regional sports association based in Vienna, Austria, operating under the umbrella of the ASKÖ Bundesorganisation. The organization focuses on providing diverse sports programs, supporting sports clubs, and promoting health and fitness activities for a broad audience including athletes, clubs, and the general public. Their website reflects a professional and community-oriented approach with clear navigation and relevant content. Technically, the site uses a mix of established JavaScript libraries and a proprietary CMS, delivering moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the professional presentation and active content. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves its community well, though enhancements in privacy compliance and security hardening 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 organization holds a strong position in the non-profit sports sector within Vienna, leveraging partnerships with national and local sports bodies. Their business model centers on community engagement, sports education, and event organization, supported by membership services and funding advice. The presence of multiple partner domains and active social media channels indicates a robust ecosystem and outreach strategy. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event participation, and public funding. The site content and structure suggest a medium-sized entity with consistent branding and a focus on inclusivity and health promotion. Strategic growth could be supported by enhanced digital services and improved compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid mitigation of security events. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from adopting modern security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident response.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Internetkonzepte.at CMS platform and utilizes a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Modernizr, Owl Carousel, Fancybox, and MMENU for UI components and interactivity. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for user tracking and analytics. The site is mobile responsive with a moderate performance profile. SEO is basic with standard meta tags but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA and semantic elements but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced compliance features.
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.
