Risk levelHigh

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

AUSTROPLAN Austrian Engineering GmbH is a small, specialized consulting and engineering company focused on industries such as cement, medical engineering, pharmaceuticals, iron & steel, waste processing, and LPG cylinder manufacturing. The company offers a range of services including business development, consulting, contracting, inspection, and spare parts procurement. The website reflects a niche industrial service provider with international project references but lacks modern digital maturity. Technically, the website is built on an outdated Joomla! 1.5 CMS platform and includes deprecated Flash content, which negatively impacts user experience and security. Performance is slow, and mobile optimization is poor. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, lack of modern TLS protocols, and missing security headers. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating poor privacy compliance. Overall, the website is accessible but requires significant modernization and security improvements to meet current standards and enhance trustworthiness.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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"

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 company operates in specialized industrial sectors with a consulting and engineering business model. Its market position is that of a niche player with expertise in cement and medical engineering projects. The website content suggests a focus on project implementation and maintenance services, targeting industrial clients. The lack of modern digital tools and absence of contact details on the website may limit lead generation and customer engagement. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated. The business appears stable but would benefit from enhanced digital presence and clearer contact channels.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. The absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate exposes users to data interception risks. The website uses an outdated CMS version known for vulnerabilities and includes deprecated Flash content, increasing attack surface. No advanced security headers or mechanisms like HSTS, OCSP stapling, or session resumption are implemented. No incident response or security policy information is available. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Immediate remediation is recommended to secure communications and update platform components.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Upgrade the CMS from Joomla! 1.5 to a current supported version to reduce vulnerabilities.
  3. Remove deprecated Flash content and replace with modern, secure alternatives.
  4. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  6. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  7. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility.
  8. Consider adding an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  9. Improve website performance and mobile optimization for better user experience.
  10. Regularly audit and monitor website security posture and update software components.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Apache server with DNS managed by world4you.at. It uses Joomla! 1.5 CMS, which is outdated and unsupported, posing security risks. The site includes MooTools JavaScript library and legacy Flash-based image slideshow. No modern frameworks or platforms detected. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating possible measurement issues or slow loading. The site lacks HTTPS support and uses no modern TLS protocols or cipher suites. Security headers are minimal and do not include modern protections. The site is not mobile optimized and has basic accessibility and SEO features. Hosting provider is world4you.at, a known Austrian hosting service. Overall, the technical infrastructure is outdated and requires modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
