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

Bohmann Druck und Verlag GmbH is a well-established Austrian media company with an 80-year history, specializing in official and municipal publications such as the Amtsblatt der Stadt Wien and the Österreichische Gemeinde Zeitung. The company targets municipal decision makers and businesses, positioning itself as one of Austria's largest private communication firms. Their business model centers on publishing and communication services with a medium-sized operational scale. Technically, the website is built on an Apache server, likely using TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend components. Hosting is provided by A1 Telekom Austria. The site includes Google Fonts and uses Matomo and Google Analytics for visitor tracking, with a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and mobile optimization is basic. From a security perspective, the website lacks HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability. No SSL certificate is installed, and no modern security headers are present. While no known SSL vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, the absence of HTTPS severely impacts the security posture. Privacy and cookie policies exist and appear GDPR compliant, but no incident response or security policies are publicly disclosed. Overall, the website is functional with good content relevance and moderate trustworthiness but requires urgent security improvements, especially the implementation of HTTPS and enhanced security headers, to protect user data and improve 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

9 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

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

Bohmann operates in the Austrian media sector with a focus on official publications for municipal and governmental audiences. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing history and established market position as a major private communication company. Revenue streams likely derive from publishing contracts and advertising in official media. The target customer segments include municipal decision makers and businesses requiring official communication channels. The company maintains partnerships with entities like the Österreichischer Städtebund. Growth indicators are stable given the company's legacy, but digital modernization could enhance market reach. The partnership ecosystem includes official government-related organizations, reinforcing credibility and market presence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of HTTPS and critical security headers. While no active vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, the lack of encryption exposes users to risks including data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Compliance gaps exist in incident response and security policy disclosures. Data protection practices are partially addressed via privacy and cookie policies, but no dedicated data protection officer or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Incident response readiness appears minimal, with no public contact channels for security issues. The security culture is not clearly communicated, indicating room for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website immediately.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan, including dedicated contact channels for security incidents.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by appointing a Data Protection Officer and publishing related contact information.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on an Apache server with a frontend built using Bootstrap and jQuery, likely managed via TYPO3 CMS. Hosting is provided by A1 Telekom Austria. The site uses external resources such as Google Fonts and includes Matomo and Google Analytics for analytics. Performance data is missing, but the presence of legacy HTML classes and minimal mobile optimization suggests moderate technical debt. No modern JavaScript frameworks or advanced performance optimizations are detected. The lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical risk. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack, improve performance, and enhance security configurations.
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.
