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

4 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

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

The Diocese of St. Pölten operates as a non-profit religious organization within the government and non-profit sectors, focusing on spiritual services, cultural preservation, and community support. Its market position is regional but significant within Austria, providing a range of services including religious sacraments, educational programs, media portals, and cultural museum activities. The website supports these functions with a job board and event listings, indicating active community involvement. Partnerships with affiliated domains such as the bishop's official site and charitable organizations enhance its ecosystem. The business model is service-oriented, relying on community engagement and religious participation rather than commercial revenue streams. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital newsletter signups.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of CSRF tokens in forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent management system. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security are present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents a compliance gap. The site does not provide direct security contact channels, which could hinder timely incident reporting and response. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the site's purpose but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including certifications or compliance attestations related to data protection and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the siteswift CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Photoswipe for image galleries, and Magnific Popup for modals. The site employs a responsive design with mobile optimization and accessibility considerations such as keyboard navigation and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading implemented for images to improve load times. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph metadata, although some OG tags lack content values. The site uses a cookie consent manager (Klaro) with multi-language support and granular user controls. Technical debt appears low, but hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and user-friendly experience aligned with the organization's needs.
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.
