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

Gasteiner Mineralwasser, operated by ALPINE BRANDS GmbH & Co KG, is a well-established Austrian beverage brand specializing in pure alpine mineral water and natural fruit juice beverages. The company leverages its unique alpine origin and lifestyle branding, including event sponsorship such as the Infinity Music Tour, to engage its target audience. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear product offerings and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on a modern Drupal 11 CMS with PHP 8.3 backend, served via nginx and hosted on a PleskLin environment. It employs modern web technologies including Lottie animations and Swiper.js for interactive content. The site is mobile-optimized and performs well with fast load times and good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with TLS 1.2 and 1.3 protocols and includes important security headers like X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options. However, it lacks HSTS and OCSP stapling, which are recommended for enhanced security. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong, with a clear cookie consent mechanism and a comprehensive privacy policy aligned with GDPR. Overall, the website demonstrates a solid security posture and business credibility with transparent WHOIS data matching the business identity. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response disclosures could further enhance trust and compliance.

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. 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 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

Gasteiner operates in the retail beverage sector with a focus on natural mineral water and fruit juice products. Its market positioning emphasizes purity, alpine origin, and emotional lifestyle branding. The business model centers on product sales supported by marketing initiatives and event sponsorships. The company targets consumers valuing natural and premium beverages. The partnership with Infinity Music Tour enhances brand visibility and engagement. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with a clear Austrian identity and consistent branding across digital channels. The website supports business growth through clear product presentation, social media integration, and downloadable resources for partners.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and modern TLS protocols supported. Security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options are implemented, reducing common web attack vectors. The absence of HSTS and OCSP stapling represents an area for improvement to prevent SSL stripping and improve certificate validation performance. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive information were found. Privacy compliance is well addressed with cookie consent and a detailed privacy policy. However, the lack of a security.txt file or explicit incident response contact limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security best practices and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  4. Review and consider disabling TLS 1.1 due to its obsolescence and potential security risks.
  5. Introduce Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting and other code injection attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by Drupal 11 CMS running on PHP 8.3.22 with nginx as the web server, indicating a modern and maintainable infrastructure. The use of Lottie animations and Swiper.js enhances user engagement and interactivity. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features, though these could be further improved. Performance is fast with no reported loading issues. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to be managed via PleskLin, suggesting a VPS or dedicated hosting environment. The technical stack is current with no deprecated technologies detected, supporting stable and scalable operations.
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.
