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

DEC112 is a specialized Austrian initiative focused on developing modern, standardized, and accessible emergency call infrastructures based on NG112 standards. The organization operates core NG112 services and offers a text-based emergency call app, targeting telecommunications providers, emergency response organizations, and IoT developers. DEC112 holds a strong market position in Austria with government partnerships and international recognition through awards and participation in standards events. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and optimized for accessibility and SEO, using modern technologies and open-source software. Security posture is good with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks explicit security policies and headers. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche, but could improve transparency on privacy and security policies.

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

9 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 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';…

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

Business profile

DEC112 operates in the telecommunications and government sectors, providing essential emergency communication services in Austria. Its business model revolves around offering NG112-compliant infrastructure and applications, supported by open-source software and integration services. The organization benefits from strong partnerships with Austrian federal ministries, police, regional emergency control centers, and funding bodies like Netidee and the EU's NGI Trust program. DEC112 targets a broad audience including telecom operators, emergency services, and end-users requiring accessible emergency communication. The presence of multiple awards and testimonials indicates a positive market reputation and growth potential. The company is small-sized, founded around 2017, and maintains a transparent and collaborative approach through open-source projects and public communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing formal security policies, adding security headers, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response procedure on the website.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance contact information with phone numbers and physical addresses for better trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring good SEO and content management capabilities. It uses lazy loading and WebP image formats for performance optimization. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-respecting user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in hosting and caching. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical infrastructure supports the organization's mission effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and more explicit hosting details.
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.
