Security score

45/100

Risk levelHigh

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

echo medienhaus is a medium-sized Austrian media company specializing in print and digital media, event management, and agency services. The website reflects a professional media house with a consistent brand presence and a diversified portfolio of media and event partners. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS using the Enfold theme and Avia framework, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking with a cookie consent mechanism implemented. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of a clear privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security documentation.

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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  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

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      • ASVS V3.4.3

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 company operates in the media sector with a focus on communication services including print publications, digital content, events, and agency offerings. It maintains partnerships with various event and media domains, indicating a broad network and diversified revenue streams. The business model targets general audiences and regional markets in Austria. The website content and linked domains suggest a stable market position with opportunities for growth through digital channels. Lack of explicit business contact details on the website may limit direct customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or security headers were detected, which are important for enhancing security posture and compliance. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics introduces moderate tracking but is managed with consent checks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the provided content. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to improve policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Enfold theme and Avia framework, leveraging jQuery and Google Fonts for UI and styling. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking with consent management. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design. Performance is moderate with some inline scripts and CSS. No advanced SEO or accessibility features were detected beyond basic implementations. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from optimization and enhanced 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.
