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

eEducation Austria is a well-established non-profit organization dedicated to advancing digital education across Austrian schools. The website serves as a comprehensive platform offering digital competence models, educational resources, tools, and community networking to support educators and institutions in their digital transformation journey. The organization targets schools and educators primarily within Austria, positioning itself as a key player in the national digital education landscape. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and FontAwesome, providing a responsive and user-friendly experience. While the site is well-structured and content-rich, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, but additional security headers are not evident, and no explicit incident response or security policies are published. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid business credibility and technical foundation but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

The organization operates as a non-profit educational network focusing on digital competence development and school digitalization. Its business model revolves around community building, resource provision, and digital tools to foster digital literacy and teaching innovation. The presence of multiple competence models and partnerships with related platforms indicates a collaborative ecosystem. The target audience includes primary, secondary, and tertiary educational institutions in Austria. The website's content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with ongoing updates and active community engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicates limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting standard security headers and publishing clear security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve site security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including dedicated security incident response channels.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by publishing security policies and data protection officer contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, combined with Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend responsiveness and interactivity. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, indicating a feature-rich platform. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices such as canonical links and hreflang tags are implemented. Performance appears moderate, with potential for optimization by reducing asset sizes and leveraging caching. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were identified, but accessibility features are basic and could be improved.
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.
