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

Gartentelefon24 is an Austrian-based ecological gardening advisory service operated under the Natur im Garten brand. The website provides users with information and telephone support to identify common garden pests and diseases and offers environmentally friendly plant protection advice. The target audience includes hobby gardeners, professional gardeners, and municipalities. The business operates as a niche informational and consulting service within the ecological gardening sector in Austria. Technically, the site is built on the Contao CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and WOW.js for animations, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, session and CSRF protections in place, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, some security headers are missing and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, with room for improvement in security transparency and policy documentation.

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 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. 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

  3. 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

The website positions itself as a trusted ecological gardening resource in Austria, leveraging the established Natur im Garten brand. Its business model focuses on providing expert advice via telephone and online content, targeting both amateur and professional gardeners. The presence of the Natur im Garten Gütesiegel adds credibility and trust. The partnership with naturimgarten.at strengthens its market presence. Revenue streams are likely indirect, possibly funded by public or environmental organizations. The site’s content and services are consistent with a small-sized, specialized entity focused on environmental sustainability and community education.

Security posture

The site demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS and essential session security mechanisms implemented. The cookie consent banner provides GDPR-compliant user controls. However, the absence of advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The use of third-party scripts like Matomo and Live Chat is managed with user consent, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for security issues.
  3. Add a dedicated privacy policy page with detailed GDPR compliance information.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Contao Open Source CMS platform, utilizing jQuery, Lightcase for lightbox functionality, WOW.js for animations, and jQuery UI for UI components. The site loads asynchronously many scripts to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive images and viewport settings. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no Open Graph or Twitter Card metadata detected. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and keyboard navigation hints. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and stable but could benefit from enhanced SEO metadata and accessibility improvements.
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.
