Risk levelMedium

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

The domain gzhls.at serves as a static content delivery domain for Geizhals and its affiliated price comparison websites in Austria, Poland, and the UK. The business operates in the retail sector, focusing on providing price comparison services to consumers. The website itself contains minimal content, primarily linking to the main price comparison platforms, indicating its role as a support domain rather than a primary business site. Technically, the site is basic with no detected advanced frameworks or CMS, and lacks visible security or privacy policies. Security posture is minimal due to the absence of security headers and policies, though no blocking or WAF mechanisms are detected. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. However, the lack of privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and richer content limits the site's compliance and trustworthiness scores.

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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 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

Geizhals is an established price comparison service targeting consumers in Austria and related markets. The business model revolves around aggregating product pricing data and providing static content to support its main platforms. The presence of related domains in Poland and the UK suggests a regional expansion strategy. The static content domain supports these platforms by hosting non-interactive resources. The company appears to maintain consistent branding across these domains. Revenue streams likely include affiliate marketing and advertising through the main sites. The lack of direct contact or business details on this domain is consistent with its role as a static content host rather than a customer-facing site.

Security posture

The security posture of the gzhls.at domain is minimal. No security headers or incident response contacts are published. The site uses HTTPS (implied by the URL), but no further SSL configuration details are available. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the domain appears low risk but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the domain or clearly link to them on the main sites.
  2. Add contact information and security policy pages to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  5. Enhance technical infrastructure documentation and SEO metadata to improve discoverability and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is minimalistic, serving static content without interactive forms or scripts. No CMS or frameworks are detected in the HTML. The domain acts as a content delivery domain for related price comparison sites. Performance and mobile optimization cannot be assessed from the limited content. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The technical setup is simple but lacks modern SEO and accessibility features. Hosting provider and SSL details are not provided, limiting deeper technical analysis.
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.
