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

3 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Caritas Tirol holds a strong market position as a regional leader in social aid and charitable services within Austria. Its business model focuses on non-profit social welfare, supported by donations and volunteer engagement. The organization benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem including regional Caritas branches and specialized projects. The website's content and structure support diverse target audiences such as families, children, people with disabilities, and refugees. The presence of the Austrian donation quality seal enhances credibility and donor confidence. Growth indicators include extensive service offerings and active community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and security headers partially implemented. The use of Sentry for real-time error monitoring and tracing is a positive security practice. Cookie consent and privacy policies are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security documentation, and formalizing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper for UI components and integrates Sentry for error tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip navigation links. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in asset loading and caching. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced hosting transparency and performance tuning.
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.
