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 marketing services including online marketing, SEO, social media advertising, and consulting for firm founding and succession. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored to its target audience. Technically, the site employs reputable analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Hotjar, Google GTag, and Meta Pixel, indicating a modern approach to data-driven marketing. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS domain registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration status, which is inconsistent with the company's claimed history and professional image. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and consent management but lacks visible security headers and incident response information. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and design but requires verification of domain registration and enhancement of security best practices.

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 positions itself as a niche marketing service provider for tax consultants, leveraging specialized knowledge of the sector to deliver tailored marketing solutions. Its business model revolves around service provision including digital marketing, graphic design, and consulting services. The company targets tax consultancy firms seeking to improve client acquisition, retention, and recruitment. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a stable market presence in Austria. The use of multiple marketing and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to client engagement. The lack of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that could impact trust and requires further investigation. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, supporting GDPR compliance. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is a positive indicator but also introduces potential privacy and security risks if not properly managed. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The missing WHOIS registration data is a critical concern that may indicate domain registration issues or privacy protection that is not justified for this business type. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with enhanced headers, incident response visibility, and domain registration verification.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a security.txt file or equivalent vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance visibility of security policies and contact channels related to security incidents.

It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo, Hotjar, Google GTag, Meta Pixel, and SalesViewer, indicating a sophisticated approach to user behavior tracking and marketing optimization. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of external scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected.

Technical improvements could focus on security header implementation 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.
