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

The website www.aufsendung.at serves as an informational and community engagement platform for the Diocese of St. Pölten, Austria. It focuses on the Synodal Process initiated by the Catholic Church, providing resources, event information, and contact details for church members and the general public. The site is part of a broader diocesan web presence and links to official church and charitable organizations. Technically, the site uses the siteswift CMS platform with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and cookie consent management via Klaro. While the site is well-structured and mobile-optimized, some SEO metadata is incomplete and accessibility features are basic. Security posture is moderate with CSRF protections and cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and published incident response policies. Overall, the site is legitimate, trustworthy, and serves its community purpose effectively.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Diocese of St. Pölten operates this site as a regional religious authority and community hub. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on religious education, community participation, and communication of church initiatives. The site targets church members and interested public in Austria, providing multimedia content, event calendars, and official documents. Partnerships with related diocesan and charitable domains strengthen its ecosystem. The site reflects a medium-sized organization with consistent branding and good content quality.

Security posture

Security maturity is moderate. The site uses HTTPS and implements CSRF tokens in forms, along with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism covering analytics and social media services. However, no advanced security headers (CSP, HSTS) were detected, and no public security or incident response policies are published. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. The site does not expose sensitive data and uses reputable third-party services. Recommendations include enhancing HTTP security headers and publishing security policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Complete SEO metadata including title and description tags for better search engine visibility.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the siteswift CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and related UI libraries for interactivity. It uses Klaro for cookie consent management, integrating analytics (Google Analytics, HubSpot) and social media embeds (YouTube, Twitter, Vimeo). The site is mobile responsive with a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. The use of CSRF tokens indicates attention to form security. However, the absence of advanced security headers and incomplete SEO metadata suggest areas for technical improvement.
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.
