Energie teilen is an Austrian informational platform dedicated to supporting the creation and operation of energy communities, primarily focusing on renewable energy sharing within Austria. It is funded by the EU initiative SHAREs and operated in close cooperation with the Austrian Energy Agency and the Austrian Coordination Office for Energy Communities. The platform offers decision matrices, communication campaign materials, and a collection of free tools to facilitate energy community projects. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Genesis Framework and related plugins, providing a modern and responsive user experience with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit incident response policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-aligned with its stated mission and business context.

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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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 platform occupies a niche position in the Austrian energy sector, targeting individuals, municipalities, and organizations interested in renewable energy communities. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on education and facilitation supported by EU funding. The partnership ecosystem includes the EU SHAREs project and official Austrian energy bodies, enhancing credibility and reach. The platform's key competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive resources tailored to Austrian legal and social contexts. Growth potential is linked to increasing interest in renewable energy and community projects. The absence of direct commercial activities reduces revenue streams but aligns with its informational mission.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. GDPR compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but could be improved to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency regarding tracking.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities or abuse.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to maintain and improve the security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Genesis Framework and Genesis Blocks plugin, leveraging jQuery and Ionicons for UI elements. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance optimizations. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses no visible third-party analytics or tracking services, indicating a privacy-conscious approach.
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.
