50/100

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

Burgenland Energie is a regional energy provider based in Austria, specializing in renewable energy solutions such as photovoltaic systems, battery storage, heat pumps, and e-mobility services. The company targets private customers, municipalities, and businesses within the Burgenland region, emphasizing energy independence and sustainability. Their digital presence includes a professional website with comprehensive product information, customer portals, and active social media channels. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure with CloudFront and S3. While the site is mobile-optimized and well-structured for SEO and accessibility, performance metrics indicate slow loading times, which could be improved. The use of Google Tag Manager and Zoho CRM scripts indicates integration with marketing and customer relationship management tools. From a security perspective, the website lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support modern TLS protocols, which is a critical vulnerability that undermines user trust and data security. Other security best practices such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are also missing. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism in place. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional business with strong content and user experience but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to enhance security posture and protect user data effectively.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Burgenland Energie holds a solid position as a regional energy provider focusing on renewable energy in Austria. Their business model revolves around offering sustainable energy products and services, including photovoltaic installations, battery storage solutions, heat pumps, and e-mobility charging infrastructure. The company serves a diverse customer base comprising private households, municipalities, and commercial clients. Strategic partnerships with telecommunications and energy network providers enhance their service offerings. The company leverages digital channels for customer engagement and service delivery, indicating a mature digital transformation approach. Growth indicators include active promotion of energy independence and community energy initiatives.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of support for modern TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The missing security headers such as HSTS and OCSP stapling further reduce the site's resilience against man-in-the-middle attacks. However, there are no signs of known vulnerabilities or malware. Privacy policies and consent mechanisms are properly implemented, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. The lack of explicit security policies or incident response information suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to safeguard user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to ensure secure communications.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  6. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.
  7. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance transparency by publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, hosted on AWS infrastructure using CloudFront CDN and S3 storage with server-side encryption via AWS KMS. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Zoho CRM for marketing and customer engagement. Despite the modern tech stack, performance is currently slow, possibly due to large images or unoptimized resources. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured content. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical risks. DNS records appear incomplete or missing in the provided data, which may affect email and domain security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but requires security and performance enhancements.
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.
