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

Base-IT GmbH is an Austrian IT service provider specializing in consulting, planning, installation, and maintenance of IT systems, with a strong focus on cybersecurity and managed services for small and medium enterprises (KMU). The company holds recognized ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certifications, underscoring its commitment to information security and data privacy. Their market position is supported by a portfolio of diverse IT services and a visible client base, including references and social media presence. Technically, the website is built on a SilverStripe CMS platform with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, MDBootstrap, Owl Carousel, and Swiper. The hosting appears to be provided by Hetzner. While the site is mobile-optimized and well-structured with good SEO practices, performance data is lacking, and accessibility is basic. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR and integrates Google Analytics for performance and user tracking. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL/TLS certificate is a critical vulnerability, severely impacting the overall security posture. Other security best practices such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and security headers are missing. The company demonstrates good security governance through certifications but lacks visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies on the website. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent security improvements to enable HTTPS and enhance security headers. Strategic recommendations include implementing SSL/TLS, publishing incident response policies, and enhancing security controls to improve trust and compliance.

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

11 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Base-IT GmbH operates in the technology sector, targeting SMEs with a comprehensive IT service offering including cybersecurity, managed services, and IT consulting. Their competitive advantage lies in certified security standards and a broad portfolio addressing modern IT challenges such as hybrid cloud and endpoint management. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on long-term client relationships, supported by service level agreements and remote support capabilities. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including a visible collaboration with CIC Werbeagentur for web development. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and regular webcast events. The company’s market presence is regional with a medium-sized organizational footprint.

Security posture

The security maturity of Base-IT GmbH is moderate with strong governance demonstrated by ISO certifications. However, the website’s lack of HTTPS and absence of critical security headers expose it to significant risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The cookie consent mechanism and GDPR compliance are positive indicators, but the lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected, but the technical security configuration requires urgent enhancement to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to secure all web traffic.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanism with detailed data retention and processing information.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Apache server, SilverStripe CMS, and popular JavaScript libraries for UI components and interactivity. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, performance metrics are missing, indicating a need for monitoring and optimization. The hosting provider is likely Hetzner based on IP address. The absence of HTTPS is a major technical debt and security risk. The site uses external resources from Google Fonts and social media platforms. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but requires critical security upgrades and performance monitoring.
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.
