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

The Österreichischer Golf-Verband (ÖGV) is the official national governing body for golf in Austria, providing comprehensive services including golf club directories, tournament information, national team management, and golf-related news. The website is well-branded and targets golf players, clubs, and enthusiasts primarily in Austria, with some international engagement. Technically, the site is built on the Neos CMS platform using PHP and modern JavaScript libraries such as Splide.js and jQuery, with a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust. The security posture is solid with valid SSL and SPF records, though improvements in security headers and SSL features like HSTS and OCSP stapling are recommended. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, but performance is somewhat slow with a load time over 11 seconds. Overall, the site demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness, with clear contact information and strong partner relationships.

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.

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

  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 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';…

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 ÖGV operates as a medium-sized non-profit organization in the sports sector, specifically focusing on golf in Austria. It maintains a strong market position as the official association, offering key services such as tournament organization, national team support, and golf club listings. The website reflects a mature digital presence with partnerships from notable brands like Mercedes-Benz and J.Lindeberg, indicating a robust sponsorship ecosystem. The business model revolves around service provision and community engagement rather than direct sales. Growth indicators include active news updates, event calendars, and international entries. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, spanning equipment suppliers, travel agencies, and media companies, enhancing the association's reach and influence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate covering multiple subdomains, ensuring secure data transmission. SPF records are correctly configured to prevent email spoofing. However, the absence of critical security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, and OCSP stapling indicates room for enhancement in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of secure forms and a reputable cookie consent framework (OneTrust) supports compliance and user data protection. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved to reach an excellent level.

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 essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Optimize website performance to reduce load times, enhancing user experience and SEO.
  5. Maintain and regularly update the cookie consent mechanism to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Neos CMS platform, leveraging the Flow PHP framework and JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Splide.js for interactive components like sliders. It uses OneTrust for cookie consent management and Google Analytics for user tracking. The site supports modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.3, 1.2, 1.1) but lacks strong cipher suite details and advanced SSL features. The DNS configuration includes valid A and MX records with SPF and DKIM for email authentication. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. However, the page load time is relatively slow (~11.6 seconds) with a large page size (~415 KB) and numerous resources (93), indicating potential for optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data for breadcrumbs and website schema.
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.
