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

The website cashbackonline.at is a cashback and discount platform affiliated with Bank Austria, targeting primarily Austrian customers interested in online shopping and travel deals. It offers cashback incentives across a wide range of partner shops and travel services, positioning itself as a value-added service for Bank Austria customers. The platform is built on Drupal 9 and employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Owl Carousel for enhanced user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, though there is room for improvement in cookie consent mechanisms and incident response transparency. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the website's branding and certifications indicate a legitimate and professional operation.

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

6 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

    • 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

  2. 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

      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';…

  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

Cashbackonline.at operates in the finance and e-commerce sectors, leveraging Bank Austria's brand to provide cashback services to its customers. The business model revolves around affiliate marketing and cashback incentives, partnering with over 800 shops and travel providers. The platform targets retail consumers in Austria, focusing on travel, fashion, health, home technology, and lifestyle sectors. The presence of multiple certifications and quality seals enhances its market credibility. The website's content and navigation are well-structured, supporting a medium-sized enterprise with a solid digital presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive set of security headers including HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. Forms include anti-bot honeypot fields, reducing spam risk. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks a publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which are important for transparency and compliance. Cookie consent mechanisms are not clearly implemented, which could pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with explicit privacy and security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly cover data collection, retention, and user rights.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 9, indicating a modern and maintainable CMS platform. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics, and Owl Carousel for interactive UI elements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance appears moderate with optimized CSS and asynchronous script loading. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses SSL certificates from a reputable CA. Opportunities exist to improve cookie management and enhance SEO metadata further.
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.
