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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
AWA operates in the education sector specializing in customs and foreign trade law training. Its business model includes multiple delivery formats such as live seminars, webinars, inhouse corporate training, and certified distance learning programs. The company targets professionals in logistics, compliance, and international trade, leveraging its affiliation with C.H.Beck to enhance credibility. The presence of certifications and a broad course catalog indicates a mature offering with a stable market position. Partnerships with certification bodies and technology providers like TariffPilot suggest a strategic approach to innovation and quality assurance. The company also maintains a presence in Austria and Switzerland through subsidiaries, expanding its regional footprint. The website supports lead generation via newsletter signups and contact forms, indicating a focus on customer engagement and retention.
Security posture
The website enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform to comply with GDPR cookie regulations. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, which is standard practice but requires ongoing monitoring for privacy compliance. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published, which is a gap in transparency. Security headers are not explicitly detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical hardening.
Recommendations
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and consent management tools for compliance and security.
Clarify domain registration details or use verified WHOIS data to improve trust signals.
Enhance transparency around data retention policies and privacy compliance.

Notes
The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure.

The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices, including structured data in JSON-LD format for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with compressed CSS and JS assets. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack supports a professional educational platform with room for security header enhancements and potential performance tuning.
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.
