Land Burgenland operates the official regional government website for the Austrian federal state of Burgenland. The site serves as a comprehensive portal for residents, tourists, and businesses, offering government services, news, and tourism information. It holds a strong market position as the authoritative source for regional information and public services. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Matomo and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The technical infrastructure supports good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital presence.

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

2 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 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 Content-Security-Policy header

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 website targets a broad audience including local citizens, tourists, and government stakeholders. Its business model is focused on public service and information dissemination, typical for government entities. The site demonstrates consistent branding and high content quality, supporting the government's communication strategy. While WHOIS data is unavailable, the domain's use and content strongly indicate legitimacy. The site integrates with partner domains such as clicksgefuehle.at for web design and uses third-party services for analytics and consent management. There is no evidence of commercial revenue streams or affiliate programs, consistent with its government nature.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS, modern security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policies and consent banners. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and incident response procedures to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government website but could be improved with more explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Add an incident response contact or page to facilitate reporting and handling of security incidents.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance security headers with Subresource Integrity (SRI) for external scripts to prevent tampering.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses Matomo for analytics, providing privacy-friendly tracking, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site includes accessibility features and is mobile optimized, with responsive design and clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with some deferred CSS loading and prefetching of scripts. The technical stack is modern and well maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to improve performance further and enhance security controls on third-party resources.
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.
