Risk levelMedium

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

Cineplexx.at is the online presence of Cineplexx, a major cinema chain operating primarily in Austria. The website serves as a platform for movie listings and ticket bookings targeting cinema-goers. The business operates in the hospitality and media sectors with a large market presence in Austria. Technically, the website uses nginx as the web server and JavaScript with Webpack for frontend asset management. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support modern TLS protocols, which severely impacts security and user trust. Security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy are present but cannot compensate for the lack of HTTPS. The site also lacks privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and visible analytics or tracking mechanisms, indicating minimal privacy compliance and limited user engagement tracking. Overall, the website is functional but basic in content and technical sophistication, with critical security gaps that must be addressed.

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.

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

Cineplexx holds a leading position in the Austrian cinema market, offering movie exhibition and ticket sales services. The business model focuses on direct consumer engagement through online ticketing and cinema information. The absence of detailed business information and contact data on the website limits transparency. The domain registration and DNS setup align with a legitimate business using Microsoft Outlook for email protection. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries linked via the website. The company targets local moviegoers and cinema enthusiasts, with a straightforward service offering. Growth opportunities could include enhanced digital engagement and improved privacy and security practices.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. While some security headers are implemented, the lack of TLS protocols and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE were detected, but the site does not implement OCSP stapling or session resumption, limiting performance and security. There is no evidence of incident response policies or security certifications. The site also lacks privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. Immediate remediation is required to secure communications and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Acquire and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure HSTS with preload and includeSubDomains.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance transparency.
  4. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incidents.
  5. Implement security.txt and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve security posture and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is served by nginx and uses JavaScript with Webpack for frontend asset bundling. The HTML is valid but minimal, with no structured data or Open Graph metadata for SEO enhancement. Performance metrics are unavailable, suggesting no active monitoring or optimization. Mobile optimization is basic, with viewport meta tags present but no advanced responsive design features detected. Accessibility features are minimal, with some meta tags for handheld devices but no ARIA roles or landmarks. The DNS setup is standard with MX records pointing to Microsoft Outlook protection services. No DNSSEC or CAA records are configured, which could improve DNS security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and lacking modern security and SEO best practices.
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.
