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

The Fachschaft Informatik website serves as the official online presence of the student representative group for the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien, Austria. It provides news, event information, academic support resources, and community engagement opportunities primarily targeted at informatics students. The site is well-structured, bilingual in parts, and offers key services such as consulting, communication platforms, and lecture wikis. The organization operates as a non-profit student body with a clear educational focus. Technically, the website is built using the Hakyll static site generator, ensuring a lightweight and secure infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No advanced analytics or tracking technologies are detected, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. However, the absence of cookie consent mechanisms and security headers indicates room for improvement in compliance and security hardening. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests a basic security posture typical for a student organization. The domain registration data aligns well with the website's educational purpose and Austrian affiliation, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and community-focused platform with good technical implementation but could enhance privacy compliance and security policies to better align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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.

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

    • 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. 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 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

Fachschaft Informatik operates as a student representative organization within the education sector, specifically serving informatics students at TU Wien. Its market position is niche and essential within the university ecosystem, providing academic support, social events, and communication tools. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on community service and student advocacy. Key services include advising, event organization, and digital platforms like Mattermost and VorlesungsWiki. The organization leverages partnerships with university services and maintains a consistent brand identity. Growth indicators include active event promotion and engagement with student elections. The absence of commercial advertising or monetization aligns with its non-profit status.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limit its security posture. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. The site’s static nature reduces attack surface, but improvements in security headers and formal policies would enhance resilience and compliance. Overall, the security culture appears basic but adequate for a student organization.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard 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 comply with EU GDPR cookie regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility to improve user trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Hakyll static site generator, which provides a secure and performant foundation. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, with responsive design ensuring good mobile usability. SEO is supported through meta tags and Open Graph properties. No client-side analytics or tracking scripts are detected, reflecting a privacy-focused approach. The site lacks advanced JavaScript frameworks, reducing complexity and potential vulnerabilities. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but likely university-managed. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and add compliance features without impacting performance.
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.
