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

Atikon EDV & Marketing GmbH is a specialized marketing and advertising company focused on serving tax consultants and accounting firms primarily in Austria. Established since 2000, the company offers a broad range of services including online marketing, SEO, social media advertising, graphic design, and consulting for firm founding and succession. Their market position is that of a trusted specialist in their niche, supported by a professional and well-structured website that clearly targets tax consultancy professionals. Technically, the website employs modern analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Hotjar, Google GTag, and Meta Pixel, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices and a comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanism, reflecting strong compliance with GDPR requirements. Security posture is generally good, though explicit security headers were not detected in the provided data, and no critical vulnerabilities were found. The WHOIS data for the domain www.atikon.com is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency; however, the website content and business information appear legitimate and consistent with the claimed business. Overall, the risk is moderate with recommendations to improve security headers and clarify domain registration details.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Atikon operates in a specialized segment of the marketing industry, focusing exclusively on tax consultants, which provides a competitive advantage through niche expertise. Their business model revolves around providing tailored marketing solutions including digital campaigns, SEO, social media ads, and graphic design services. Revenue streams likely include service contracts, consulting fees, and digital marketing packages. The target customer segment is tax consultancy firms seeking to improve client acquisition, retention, and recruitment. Growth indicators include a comprehensive service portfolio and active content marketing via podcasts, webinars, and events. The company is part of Atikon Holding GmbH, indicating a structured corporate environment. Partnerships with major analytics and advertising platforms enhance their service delivery. Strategic observations suggest a strong focus on compliance and digital maturity, positioning Atikon well in the Austrian market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with user privacy controls. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options in the provided data suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly found, which could be a gap in transparency. Overall, the security culture appears adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Clarify and publish domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data is accessible to improve trust and transparency.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners to enhance security posture and compliance.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for privacy and security compliance, minimizing data exposure risks.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

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.
