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

Generali Gruppe Österreich operates as a major insurance provider in Austria, offering a broad spectrum of insurance and financial products targeting both private and corporate customers. The company enjoys a strong market position with over 2 million customers and is part of the global Generali Group. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive digital presence, showcasing extensive product offerings and customer services. Technically, the site leverages modern frameworks such as React and Gatsby, hosted on AWS infrastructure with CDN support for content delivery. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS enforcement, which significantly undermines the site's security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented, indicating good compliance with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is user-friendly, mobile-optimized, and trustworthy, but urgent improvements in SSL/TLS configuration are necessary to ensure secure communications and maintain customer trust.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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"

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

Generali Gruppe Österreich is positioned as a large, essential entity within the finance sector, focusing on insurance and financial services. Their business model revolves around providing comprehensive insurance solutions including vehicle, health, life, liability, and pension products. The company targets private individuals and businesses in Austria, supported by a strong brand and extensive customer base. Their digital ecosystem includes partnerships with global Generali entities and uses advanced content management and delivery platforms. The presence of customer testimonials and high ratings reinforces their market credibility. Growth is supported by digital innovation such as mobility apps and online service tools. The company maintains a robust partnership network and emphasizes transparency and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is currently low due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, which exposes users to potential interception and data compromise. While some security best practices are observed, such as HttpOnly cookies and a Content-Security-Policy in report-only mode, the missing TLS protocols and HSTS configuration are significant vulnerabilities. No known critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, but the overall SSL/TLS configuration is inadequate. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating potential gaps in transparency. The site should prioritize securing communications and enhancing security headers to improve its security posture and compliance with industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and disable all insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checks and reduce latency.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  6. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  7. Enhance privacy compliance by providing explicit cookie consent banners and detailed data retention policies.
  8. Maintain consistent branding and trust signals across all digital channels to reinforce customer confidence.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, indicating a contemporary and performant frontend architecture. Hosting on AWS with Amazon S3 and CloudFront CDN ensures scalable and reliable content delivery. The site uses Contentstack as a CMS, supporting dynamic content management. Despite these strengths, performance metrics are not provided, but the presence of chunked transfer encoding and CDN caching suggests moderate to good performance. Accessibility features such as skip navigation links and responsive design are implemented, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and structured JSON-LD data. However, the lack of HTTPS severely impacts the technical security posture and user trust. Addressing SSL/TLS issues is critical to fully leverage the technical infrastructure.
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.
