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

Anton Rath Gartengestaltung GmbH is a well-established family-owned horticulture and landscaping business based in Austria, with over 30 years of experience. The company specializes in plant nursery services, garden and landscape design, substrate production, and innovative rainwater management solutions. Their target audience includes commercial, public, and private clients seeking high-quality plants and landscaping expertise. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear contact information and a focus on sustainability and regional production. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and FontAwesome, with a moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is strong, with a clear cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned privacy policy. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration is consistent with the business history, indicating legitimacy.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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
    • 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

The company holds a strong regional market position as a trusted family business with a diversified service portfolio in horticulture and landscaping. Their business model focuses on direct sales and service provision, supported by in-house substrate production and research partnerships (e.g., Zenebio GmbH). The website content and structure support their credibility and customer engagement, although no social media or extensive digital marketing tools were identified. Growth potential exists through innovation in rainwater management and substrate technology. The absence of certifications or security policies suggests areas for future business maturity improvements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage implied but no explicit security headers detected. The presence of a cookie consent banner and GDPR-compliant privacy policy indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, implementing security headers, and publishing security and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience.
  5. Consider integrating social media channels and marketing tools to expand digital presence and customer engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional tech stack with jQuery and FontAwesome, supported by custom JavaScript and CSS. No modern CMS or frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are recommended for modernization. Hosting and domain registration are stable and reputable. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to improve security and user experience.
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.
