Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 1 other check.

Security score

66/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website 'Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl' represents a cooperative organization based in Austria focused on reforming the financial system towards social good. Founded in 2018, it is one of the largest new cooperatives in Austria by membership. The site provides information about their mission and cooperative model but lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and Cloudflare DNS services, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protections but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security disclosures.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 cooperative operates in the finance and non-profit sectors, targeting general audiences interested in financial system reform and cooperative membership. Its business model centers on cooperative principles and social impact rather than commercial profit. The organization has a clear market position as a leading new cooperative in Austria. No explicit partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content. The lack of contact details and social media presence may limit outreach and growth potential. The website content is consistent and well-branded, supporting credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and domain status protections to prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. No security headers were detected in the provided content, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts were identified, suggesting minimal user tracking. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with standard security headers, DNSSEC, and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Include clear contact information and social media links to improve transparency and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with the Slick Carousel JavaScript library for UI components. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO meta tags. However, no CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, likely due to standard web assets and no heavy scripts. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA attributes and semantic HTML enhancements. No analytics or marketing tools were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious or minimal tracking approach.
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.
