Risk levelLow

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

CANCOM Austria AG is a leading IT services and digitalization company based in Austria, positioning itself as the number one digitalization partner in the country. The company offers a broad range of IT solutions including network infrastructure, cybersecurity, collaboration tools, and cloud services, targeting business and enterprise clients seeking digital transformation. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear messaging about their expertise and services. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and a custom development framework with CMS Neos, and includes cookie consent management via Usercentrics, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the website is well-structured and trustworthy, but WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting full domain legitimacy verification.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

      • CAPEC-142
      • RFC 4033

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

CANCOM Austria operates in the technology sector as an essential entity providing IT services and digital solutions. Its market position as Austria's top digitalization partner suggests a strong competitive advantage and a large enterprise size. The business model focuses on delivering comprehensive IT infrastructure and security solutions to corporate clients. The presence of sister domains and partners like Kapsch indicates a robust partnership ecosystem. The company targets enterprises requiring advanced IT services, with growth potential in cloud and cybersecurity domains. The website content and social media presence support a credible and professional business image.

Security posture

The security maturity level of CANCOM Austria's website is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Usercentrics, supporting basic privacy compliance. However, the absence of visible security headers (such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies represent compliance gaps. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which limits transparency for security researchers. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerabilities in the analyzed content. To improve, the company should implement comprehensive security headers, publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and ensure all forms are secured against common web attacks. These steps would enhance GDPR and NIS2 compliance and strengthen the security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible on the website.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Ensure all web forms include anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed privacy and cookie policies with GDPR alignment.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and rich snippets. It uses the Neos CMS platform and custom development by Code Q. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site integrates Usercentrics for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility features and security configurations. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced security and accessibility measures.
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.
