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

FunkFeuer.at represents a non-commercial, community-driven initiative focused on building and maintaining free, decentralized wireless networks in Austria. Founded in 2003, it operates through volunteer-run nodes that form a mesh network to provide open communication infrastructure without commercial interests. The website serves as an informational hub with links to regional initiatives, community resources, and sponsors supporting the project. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and custom CSS, delivering a mobile-optimized and well-structured user experience. However, it lacks formal privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. The absence of tracking and advertising tools aligns with the community's privacy-conscious ethos. WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistent registration details matching the organization's profile. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional but could enhance compliance and security transparency.

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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 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

FunkFeuer operates in the technology and non-profit sectors, targeting technically inclined individuals and communities interested in free and open networking. Its business model is based on voluntary participation and shared infrastructure rather than commercial revenue. The initiative has a niche market position within Austria, with active regional groups in Vienna, Graz, and Wels. Sponsorships from related technology companies support its operations. The organization emphasizes DIY principles and community knowledge sharing, which strengthens its competitive advantage in grassroots networking. Growth potential exists in expanding regional presence and increasing community engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes local sponsors and infrastructure providers, which are critical for sustainability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS presumably enabled (though SSL configuration details are not provided). No security headers were detected, and no formal security or incident response policies are published. The lack of forms reduces attack surface, but the absence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms and security contact information limits transparency and readiness. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is basic and would benefit from formalized policies, improved header configurations, and published incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including dedicated security contact emails.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is enforced site-wide with strong SSL/TLS configurations and regularly audited certificates.
  5. Increase transparency and trust by adding contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, and Bootflat, providing a responsive and visually consistent design. The site loads moderate performance assets and is mobile optimized. No CMS or complex backend technologies were detected, suggesting a static or simple dynamic site architecture. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating a privacy-focused approach. The absence of forms reduces complexity and security risks but limits user interaction. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Technical debt appears low, but modernization opportunities include adding accessibility features and improving SEO metadata. Overall, the technical implementation supports the community-driven mission but could be enhanced with modern security and compliance features.
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.
