Europaschule Linz is an educational institution affiliated with the Pädagogische Hochschule Oberösterreich, serving students and educators in the Linz region. The website provides comprehensive information about the school, its services, projects, and contact details, targeting students, parents, and educational professionals. The institution holds a stable regional position as a pedagogical school with a medium-sized operational scale. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics for visitor insights. The site is mobile-optimized and implements a detailed cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. Hosting and domain registration are managed by reputable providers, ensuring stable infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent banners to manage user privacy.

Overall, Europaschule Linz presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly web presence aligned with its educational mission. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and incident response readiness would further strengthen its posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 institution operates as a regional educational provider under the umbrella of Pädagogische Hochschule Oberösterreich. Its business model focuses on delivering pedagogical education and student services, supported by a clear digital presence. The website reflects a consistent branding strategy and provides essential services such as news updates, project information, and registration forms. The target audience includes students, educators, and parents within the Austrian education sector. The presence of social media channels and integration with external platforms like WebUntis indicates a connected ecosystem supporting educational activities. No direct revenue streams or commercial activities are evident, consistent with its public educational nature.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts suggests limited transparency in security governance. No security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating potential for enhancement. The use of third-party scripts such as Google Analytics and DataReporter cookie banner is managed with user consent, reducing privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for an educational institution but could benefit from formalized policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain transparency on data protection officer contact and vulnerability disclosure procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring maintainability and scalability. The front-end uses Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactive elements. Google Maps integration and embedded videos enhance user engagement. The site loads a variety of CSS and JavaScript assets, some from external sources, which may impact performance but are standard for modern websites. Cookie consent is managed by DataReporter, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. The hosting registrar is InterNetX GmbH, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in accessibility and SEO enhancements.
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.
