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

The Fachschule Grabenstraße für wirtschaftliche Berufe Graz is an educational institution operated by Caritas Steiermark, providing one- and three-year vocational training programs focused on economic professions. The website reflects a well-established regional non-profit educational provider with a clear mission to prepare students for the workforce with practical and theoretical knowledge. The institution maintains a consistent brand presence and offers comprehensive information about its programs, staff, and community involvement. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, along with integrations for accessibility (ReadSpeaker) and error monitoring (Sentry). The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. Social media integration is robust, supporting engagement across multiple platforms. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses standard security practices, including cookie consent and error tracking. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and maintaining up-to-date third-party libraries to sustain security 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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 within the education and non-profit sectors, targeting students in Graz, Austria, seeking vocational training in economic fields. Its affiliation with Caritas Steiermark provides a strong brand and trust foundation. The business model focuses on providing accessible education with social impact rather than commercial revenue generation. The website supports this with detailed program descriptions, community projects, and social engagement. The presence of multiple social media channels and event listings indicates active outreach and community involvement. No direct revenue streams or commercial partnerships are evident, consistent with a non-profit educational entity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent aligned with GDPR, and use of Sentry for error monitoring. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were found. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options is a minor gap. There is no visible security or incident response policy published, which could limit transparency in case of security incidents. The site uses third-party scripts responsibly, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to mitigate risks from dependencies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update all third-party libraries and dependencies to their latest secure versions.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance form security by implementing CSRF tokens and input validation where applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, ensuring scalability and maintainability. It uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.5.1 and Swiper.js for interactive UI components. The integration of accessibility tools like ReadSpeaker and compliance with cookie consent regulations demonstrate attention to user experience and legal requirements. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, but mobile responsiveness and SEO practices are well implemented. The use of Sentry for error tracking indicates proactive monitoring. Hosting details are not explicit, but HTTPS is enforced, indicating a secure hosting environment.
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.
