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

Visiativ Austria GmbH is a well-established digital transformation partner specializing in CAD and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions for manufacturing companies. With over 30 years of experience, the company offers a comprehensive portfolio including consulting, software sales, and training services. Their market position is strong within the manufacturing and technology sectors, supported by partnerships with Dassault Systèmes and a broad regional presence across Europe. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with high-quality content and effective SEO practices. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO, caching, and cookie consent management. The infrastructure includes Apache hosting with DNS managed via Google Domains. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the security posture. Other security best practices such as SPF records for email and vulnerability scanning show positive signs, but the lack of HTTPS is a major concern. The security posture is currently basic, with no detected vulnerabilities but missing essential HTTPS protections and security headers. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is clearly provided, including phone numbers and social media links, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to enable HTTPS and modern TLS protocols. Strategic recommendations include installing a valid SSL certificate, enabling HSTS, and improving server security headers to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Visiativ Austria GmbH operates as a B2B service provider focusing on digital transformation in manufacturing, leveraging CAD and PLM software solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in long-standing industry experience, strategic partnerships with major software vendors, and a comprehensive service offering from consulting to training. The company targets manufacturing firms and startups seeking to optimize product development and lifecycle management. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, consulting fees, and training services. The partnership ecosystem includes Dassault Systèmes and HCLTech, expanding their product portfolio. The website's multilingual and regional structure supports a broad European market presence, indicating growth orientation and market penetration strategies.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic with significant gaps. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support exposes users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While SPF records and lack of known vulnerabilities are positive, the missing TLS protocols and security headers reduce overall security. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which may impact readiness for security events. Data protection practices are supported by GDPR-compliant policies and cookie consent, but technical security improvements are urgently needed to align with best practices and regulatory expectations. The security culture appears to prioritize compliance but lacks technical enforcement of secure communications.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload flags.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption mechanisms to improve security and performance.
  5. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with the Enfold theme and several plugins for SEO, caching, event management, and cookie consent. The tech stack includes jQuery and MediaElement.js for media handling. Hosting is on an Apache server with DNS managed by Google Domains. Performance data is not available, but caching and minification plugins suggest optimization efforts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO and structured data using Schema.org JSON-LD. Technical risks include missing HTTPS and outdated SSL/TLS configurations, which could impact user trust and search rankings. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security protocols and enhancing accessibility features.
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.
