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

CONFIDA Steiermark Steuerberatung GmbH is a professional tax advisory and auditing firm with a strong regional presence in Austria and Southeast Europe, including Croatia, Serbia, and Slovenia. The company offers a broad range of services such as tax consulting, auditing, corporate consulting, payroll accounting, and controlling. Their market position is that of an established medium-sized firm with multiple subsidiaries and offices, targeting businesses and individuals requiring financial and tax services. The website reflects a professional business model focused on client service and regional expertise. Technically, the website is hosted on an nginx server with DNS managed by net4you.net and uses Matomo analytics for privacy-conscious user tracking. The site employs modern web technologies including SVG graphics and JavaScript modules, and it is optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility and SEO practices. However, performance metrics indicate slow loading times, which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which is a critical vulnerability impacting user trust and data protection. While some security headers are present, the absence of TLS protocols and OCSP stapling reduces the overall security posture. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, indicating compliance with GDPR requirements, but no explicit security policy or incident response information is provided. Overall, the website is professionally designed and content-rich, supporting the company's credibility and trustworthiness. The main risk lies in the missing SSL/TLS configuration, which should be addressed urgently to protect users and improve the security score. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, enhancing SSL configuration, and adding security and incident response documentation to strengthen compliance and trust.

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.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

CONFIDA operates in the finance sector, specifically in tax advisory and auditing services, with a business model centered on professional services for corporate and individual clients. Their competitive advantage includes a broad geographic footprint across Austria and Southeast Europe, multiple subsidiaries, and a comprehensive service portfolio. The company targets SMEs and professionals requiring tax and auditing services, leveraging partnerships such as INAA and Atikon to enhance service offerings. The website content and structured data indicate a mature digital presence, supporting client engagement and information dissemination. Growth indicators include active news updates, multiple office locations, and specialized consulting services. The partnership ecosystem is well integrated, with clear links to related organizations and cooperative entities.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. Security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are correctly implemented, providing some protection against common web attacks. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies and Do Not Track support reflects a privacy-conscious approach. However, the lack of incident response contact information, vulnerability disclosure policies, and security certifications indicates gaps in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partially demonstrated through privacy and cookie policies but could be enhanced with explicit security policies and data protection officer contact details. The business impact of these vulnerabilities includes reputational risk and potential regulatory non-compliance. Strengthening SSL/TLS configuration and publishing security policies would significantly improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS across the entire website to secure data transmission.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure OCSP stapling and session resumption for improved security and performance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update security headers and configurations to mitigate emerging threats.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed data retention policies and appointing a data protection officer with contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an nginx server with DNS managed by net4you.net and uses Matomo analytics for tracking. The technology stack includes SVG for graphics and JavaScript modules for interactive features. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices, including structured data (JSON-LD) for multiple subsidiaries and services. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times and zero resource/page size data, suggesting potential measurement issues or optimization opportunities. No CMS or major frameworks are explicitly detected. The site uses multiple RSS feeds and social media integrations. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical technical risk. Hosting and DNS configurations appear standard and consistent with the business profile.
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.
