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

Daswetter.at is a weather forecasting website focused primarily on Austria, providing 14-day weather forecasts, weather warnings, radar and satellite imagery, and weather-related news and videos. It is part of the Meteored network, which has a broader international presence. The site offers free access supported by advertising and provides mobile applications across major platforms including Android, iOS, Huawei, and Windows. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality aimed at the general public interested in weather information. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as Leaflet for maps, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Prebid.js for header bidding advertising. It employs a consent management platform to comply with GDPR and uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The site implements GDPR-compliant cookie consent and privacy policies, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found. The lack of WHOIS data suggests privacy protection, which is common and justified for this type of media service. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, with recommendations to enhance visible security headers, accessibility, and add vulnerability disclosure mechanisms for improved security maturity.

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

5 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Daswetter.at operates in the media sector, specializing in weather information services. Its market positioning is solid within Austria, leveraging the Meteored brand for international reach. The business model relies on advertising revenue supported by user consent for targeted ads, supplemented by mobile app distribution and weather widgets/plugins for third-party websites. The target customers are general users seeking reliable weather forecasts and related news. The company maintains active social media channels to engage users and promote content. Growth indicators include multi-platform app availability and comprehensive weather services. The partnership ecosystem includes advertising networks and data providers, but no direct parent or subsidiary companies are identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance, and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML content. Security headers are partially inferred but not explicitly visible in the HTML source. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries are detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. The site effectively manages user privacy and tracking consent, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced documentation and explicit security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly document security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and advertising technologies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including JavaScript frameworks, Leaflet.js for interactive maps, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and advertising management. It uses header bidding via Prebid.js to optimize ad revenue. The site is hosted likely on infrastructure associated with Meteored, with resources loaded from services.meteored.com. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and app availability across platforms. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS is explicitly detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable weather information service.
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.
