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. 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

    • 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

  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. 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 Financial Life Park operates as a non-profit educational platform under Erste Group, targeting schools, youth, and the general public to enhance financial competence. Its business model leverages both physical and digital learning experiences, supported by a booking system and active social media engagement. The organization benefits from strong brand recognition and trust signals such as VAT registration and official social profiles. Growth potential is supported by diversified offerings including apps and thematic tours. Partnerships with related domains like flipchallenge.at enhance its ecosystem. The website's content and structure support clear communication of its mission and services, facilitating user engagement and educational outreach.

Security posture

The website maintains a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of nonce and CAPTCHA for form submissions indicates attention to preventing automated abuse. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response contacts are not explicitly provided, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider multi-factor authentication for administrative access to strengthen internal security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor as the primary page builder, supplemented by plugins such as Borlabs Cookie for GDPR compliance, JetEngine for dynamic content, and WPML for multilingual support. The tech stack is modern and supports responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) to enhance search engine visibility. The presence of accessibility tools like Readabler indicates a commitment to inclusive design. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but ongoing maintenance of plugins and performance tuning is recommended to sustain quality.
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.
