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

BoehlerBrothers GmbH is a small technology company based in Vorarlberg, Austria, specializing in app and web development, technology consulting, and artificial intelligence solutions. The company positions itself as a regional innovator with a strong focus on digital transformation and partnerships with reputable local and regional businesses. Their website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on Next.js and React technologies, hosted via Cloudflare, and integrates marketing and feedback tools such as Google Analytics and Gleap. However, the site suffers from a critical security deficiency due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support and lack of security headers, which significantly impacts the security posture and user trust. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy present, but no cookie consent mechanism is evident. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is content-rich and professionally designed but requires urgent security improvements to meet modern standards.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 as a service-based technology consultancy and software development agency targeting businesses seeking digital transformation in Austria, particularly in the Vorarlberg region. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive service offerings including AI and startup company building, supported by strong local partnerships. The business model focuses on project-based revenue streams with a clear emphasis on innovation and client collaboration. The partnership ecosystem includes marketing and design agencies, as well as notable regional companies, indicating a well-established network. Growth indicators include active social media presence and a newsletter subscription offering. The company demonstrates a strategic approach to market positioning by combining technical expertise with regional market knowledge.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of essential security headers. This exposes the website to risks such as data interception and undermines user trust. There are no visible vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE, but the lack of HTTPS is a critical issue. GDPR compliance is partially met with a privacy policy, but cookie consent and incident response policies are missing. The company does not publicly disclose security frameworks or incident response contacts, indicating limited transparency in security culture. Immediate remediation is necessary to improve data protection and secure communications.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Cloudflare CDN, which provides scalability and performance benefits. However, the site suffers from slow load times (~29 seconds) and a large number of resources (103) contributing to performance degradation. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of security headers represent significant technical risks. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. The technical infrastructure is modern but requires security hardening and performance optimization to reduce technical debt and operational risks.
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.
