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

Gastein.com is a regional tourism website promoting vacation and wellness activities in the Gasteinertal region of Austria. The site offers information on hiking, biking, yoga, and thermal spa experiences, targeting tourists and wellness seekers. The business model centers on tourism promotion and booking facilitation, positioning itself as a key regional destination platform. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern web technologies including Cookiebot for consent management and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and published privacy or terms policies. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy from a content perspective but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

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 targets the hospitality sector, focusing on tourism in the Austrian Alps. It leverages partnerships with third-party services like Booking.com and integrates multiple advertising and tracking platforms such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Adform. The business appears to be medium-sized with a regional focus. The absence of clear company contact details and WHOIS data suggests a need for better corporate transparency. The site’s use of structured data and multilingual support indicates a mature digital presence aimed at international visitors. Growth potential lies in enhancing direct booking capabilities and expanding marketing reach. Strategic partnerships with local service providers and tourism boards are implied but not explicitly detailed.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place, indicating compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no contact channels for security issues are provided. The extensive use of third-party scripts and trackers increases the attack surface and privacy risks. The missing WHOIS data is a red flag for domain legitimacy and could impact trust. Overall, the site should enhance its security framework, publish relevant policies, and provide clear incident response contacts to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Verify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available or justified by privacy protection.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and web components for enhanced interactivity and user experience. The site loads multiple external resources including fonts, analytics, and booking widgets, which may impact performance but are common in tourism websites. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. However, the absence of security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical and operational risks. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times by reducing third-party dependencies and leveraging caching strategies.
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.
