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

Donauinselfest.at is the official website for the Donauinselfest, a large free music festival organized by SPÖ Wien in Vienna, Austria. The site serves as an information and promotional platform for the event, showcasing partners, sponsors, and providing news and contact options. The business operates as a non-profit event organizer with strong local government and corporate partnerships, positioning itself as a major cultural event in the region. The website is well-branded, consistent, and targets a broad general audience interested in music and community events. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, integrating modern web technologies including FontAwesome icons, Google APIs, and Matomo analytics for user tracking. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, and uses CAPTCHA for form submissions, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent banner with granular options. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's claims, showing transparency and legitimacy. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be an area for improvement. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the Donauinselfest event, with good privacy compliance and a solid technical foundation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, adding explicit security policies, and improving accessibility to further strengthen the site's security posture and user experience.

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

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

    • 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

    • 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

  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 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Donauinselfest is positioned as a major cultural and music festival in Vienna, supported by prominent partners in energy, banking, insurance, and city government sectors. The business model is non-profit, relying on sponsorships and partnerships to fund the free event. The target audience includes local residents, tourists, and music enthusiasts. The website reflects a mature partnership ecosystem with well-known brands, indicating strong market presence and community engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms and social media. Growth indicators include consistent event scheduling and active social media engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of CAPTCHA on forms, and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present, representing a potential area of risk. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response information limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for general public use but could benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct contact information for security or abuse reporting to facilitate incident handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Bootstrap 4 and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. FontAwesome provides iconography, and Google APIs are used for social integrations. Matomo Analytics is employed for privacy-conscious user tracking. The site includes a robust cookie consent management system (Truendo) supporting GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred emoji support. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive navigation and layout. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security reviews. No hosting provider details were detected, limiting infrastructure assessment.
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.
