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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 24 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: mail2.windenergie.at

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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 leverages its affiliation with the W.E.B-Group to establish market credibility and expand its charging infrastructure footprint. Its competitive advantage lies in its pioneering status in Austria's e-mobility sector and its integration with renewable energy sources. The website indicates a focus on customer acquisition through digital channels, with clear calls to action for ordering charging cards and accessing tariff information. Partnerships with related energy platforms like web.energy enhance its ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent news about new station openings and upgrades, reflecting active network expansion.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, demonstrating a baseline security posture. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, enhancing privacy compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are not explicitly observed, suggesting potential enhancements. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data visibility or ensure domain registration information is publicly accessible to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and regularly update cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms to align with evolving regulations.

  3. Good privacy and cookie consent implementation
  4. No direct contact emails or phone numbers found on main page; contact via form
  5. No explicit security policy or incident response info published
  6. No WHOIS data available, which is unusual and reduces domain trust
  7. Use of modern CMS TYPO3 and standard web technologies
  8. Social media presence on Facebook only
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for interactive content, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and videos to optimize load times. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels are present, supporting inclusive design. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with opportunities for further optimization.
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.
