50/100

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

BFI Oberösterreich is a leading adult education provider in Upper Austria offering a wide range of vocational training, adult education courses, and customized corporate training programs. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and incorporates modern frontend technologies such as jQuery and Bootstrap, providing a professional and accessible user experience. The business targets both private individuals and companies, emphasizing lifelong learning and workforce development. The site includes comprehensive course catalogs, contact information, and trust signals such as certifications and partnerships with official bodies. From a technical perspective, the website demonstrates good content quality, SEO, and accessibility, but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support. Security headers are partially implemented, but the lack of TLS protocols and HSTS reduces the overall security posture significantly. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and credible but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure communications and protect user data. Addressing these security gaps will enhance trust and compliance with modern web security standards.

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.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

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

      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

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

BFI Oberösterreich operates in the education sector, focusing on adult and vocational education with a large course portfolio exceeding 3,500 courses and multiple locations. The business model includes direct course offerings to individuals and tailored educational services for companies, supported by an online portal (myBFI-Business). The organization benefits from strong partnerships with regional government, employment services, and certification bodies, reinforcing its market position. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with integrated analytics and marketing tools, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement and service delivery.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While some security headers are present, the lack of modern TLS protocols, HSTS, OCSP stapling, and session resumption mechanisms further degrade security. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found on the site. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is essential to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Enable session resumption mechanisms such as session tickets or session cache.
  6. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve security transparency.
  7. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Enhance incident response readiness by providing security contact channels.

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with frontend libraries including jQuery 1.11.2, Bootstrap, Shadowbox, and Handlebars.js for templating. Analytics are handled via Google Tag Manager and Piwik PRO, indicating a mature analytics setup. The site uses lazy loading for images and fonts preloading for performance optimization. However, performance metrics indicate zero load time and resource count, likely due to incomplete data or scan limitations. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, with ARIA roles and skip links present. The lack of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is the main technical risk, potentially impacting user trust and SEO rankings.
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.
