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

7 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

    • 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

  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

  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.

Breach exposure

Leaked credentials and lookalike domains from OffSeq Breach. The counts are free; the detailed lists are paid add-ons.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention checkeffect.at, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for checkeffect.at right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Business context

Business profile

NCM GmbH operates in the technology sector, focusing on privacy-compliant web analytics. Their business model is SaaS-based, targeting Austrian and Alpine region businesses concerned with GDPR compliance. The company has been established since 1996, indicating maturity and stability. Their ecosystem includes social media engagement and a proprietary analytics platform. Pricing is customized, reflecting a client-centric approach. The company emphasizes trust and compliance, which are key competitive advantages in the current regulatory environment.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for marketing tags. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No dedicated security or incident response pages were found, which could enhance transparency. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Contao CMS with Bootstrap 5 and Swiper.js for UI components, indicating a modern and maintainable tech stack. Google Tag Manager is integrated for marketing and analytics management. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive images for performance. The page load performance is moderate, with some room for optimization. No hosting provider details were found. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience but could improve accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
