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

Atikon EDV & Marketing GmbH is a specialized marketing company established in 2000, focusing on advertising and law firm marketing services for tax consultants primarily in Austria. The company offers a broad range of marketing services including online marketing, SEO, social media, Google Ads, and career packages tailored to the needs of tax advisory firms. Their website is professionally designed, mobile optimized, and provides clear navigation and comprehensive content relevant to their target audience. The company demonstrates GDPR compliance with detailed privacy and cookie policies and uses multiple analytics and marketing tools with user consent mechanisms. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies and tracking tools such as Matomo, Hotjar, Google GTag, and Meta Pixel, ensuring good performance and user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities, though some security headers and explicit security policies could be improved. A notable concern is the absence of WHOIS domain registration data, which reduces trust slightly but is mitigated by the professional presentation and clear contact information on the site. Overall, Atikon presents a credible and professional online presence with room for minor security and transparency enhancements.

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 holds a niche market position as a specialist marketing provider for tax consultants in Austria, leveraging a service-based business model focused on marketing and consulting. Their offerings cover a wide spectrum of digital marketing services tailored to the accounting sector, including online presence optimization, social media campaigns, and recruitment marketing. The company targets tax advisory firms seeking to enhance client acquisition and retention as well as personnel recruitment. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a stable market presence since 2000 and a parent company named Atikon Holding GmbH. The firm uses a variety of marketing and analytics tools to optimize client engagement and track campaign effectiveness. The absence of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract significantly from the business intelligence derived from the website content and structure.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, indicating a mature approach to privacy and security. Tracking scripts such as Matomo, Hotjar, Google GTag, and Meta Pixel are used responsibly with user consent. However, the site lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a dedicated security policy or incident response contact, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and formalizing incident response procedures. The missing WHOIS data is a minor risk factor but does not directly impact the website's technical security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide an incident response contact or security@ email address to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to improve trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and transparent cookie consent mechanisms to uphold privacy standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including SVG graphics, CSS stylesheets, JavaScript, and multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Hotjar, Google GTag, and Meta Pixel. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. The site does not appear to use a common CMS or framework explicitly, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security headers and formalized security documentation.
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.
