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

DEKRA Austria operates within the transportation, energy, healthcare, manufacturing, and government sectors, providing essential safety and certification services. Their business model focuses on service delivery to both private and commercial clients, leveraging a global brand with localized subsidiaries. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with multiple country-specific domains and integrates advanced digital tools for marketing, analytics, and customer engagement. Growth indicators include extensive service offerings, digital claims management, and a dedicated webshop for environmental stickers. The company emphasizes trust and quality through recognized certifications and compliance with international standards.

Security posture

The security maturity of DEKRA Austria's web presence is high, with comprehensive security headers including HSTS with subdomain inclusion, X-Frame-Options, and Content Security Policy. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a reputable CA, with no known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE. However, the absence of TLS 1.2 or 1.3 support is a notable gap that could affect security and compatibility. DNSSEC and CAA records are not implemented, which could enhance DNS security and certificate issuance control. The site includes GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, indicating an area for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 protocols to enhance encryption strength and compatibility.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Add CAA DNS records to restrict certificate authorities authorized to issue certificates for the domain.
  4. Review and enable modern XSS protection headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and incident handling transparency.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js and Vue.js frameworks with Tailwind CSS for styling, indicating a modern and responsive frontend architecture. Hosting is provided by Microsoft Azure, ensuring scalability and reliability. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Matomo, Hotjar, Microsoft Application Insights, and SnapEngage, reflecting a mature digital marketing strategy. Performance is fast with optimized images and lazy loading. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are good, supported by comprehensive metadata and hreflang tags for multilingual support. The technical stack is well-maintained with opportunities to improve TLS protocol support and DNS security configurations.
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.
