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

epmedia is a professional communications agency based in Austria, specializing in tailored marketing and PR strategies for B2B and B2C clients, particularly in the real estate sector. The company offers a broad range of services including brand and communication strategies, PR and networking, classic advertising, digital services, and event management. Their market position is supported by a portfolio of reputable clients and organized industry events. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and frameworks, providing a good user experience and SEO optimization. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols represent significant security weaknesses. The site complies well with GDPR through a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the business demonstrates credibility and professionalism but must urgently address its SSL/TLS security to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.
  • 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 targets businesses seeking relevant and strategic communication rather than loud marketing. Their business model revolves around providing integrated communication solutions and event organization, generating revenue from service contracts and event sponsorships. The presence of multiple high-profile clients and partnerships indicates a strong market presence in the Austrian real estate communication niche. The company leverages digital marketing tools and SEO to enhance visibility and client engagement. Growth indicators include long-standing events and a diversified service portfolio. Strategic partnerships with event platforms and advertising networks further strengthen their ecosystem.

Security posture

The website's security posture is currently weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing visitors to potential data interception risks. While some security headers are implemented, the absence of HTTPS significantly undermines overall security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder effective handling of security incidents. The GDPR compliance and cookie consent implementation are positive indicators of privacy awareness. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security policies are recommended to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement and publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update security headers and Content Security Policy for enhanced protection.
  5. Maintain GDPR compliance and transparency with users regarding data collection and processing.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor as the primary page builder, supplemented by plugins such as Yoast SEO, LayerSlider, Slider Revolution, and Complianz GDPR for cookie management. The site uses jQuery and Lottie animations for enhanced interactivity. Hosting appears to be provided by internex.host. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is a critical technical risk. The site uses multiple external resources and scripts, which should be monitored for security and performance impacts.
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.
