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

Vinzenz Harrer GmbH is a well-established Austrian company specializing in wood construction solutions, operating for approximately 30 years. The company offers a comprehensive online shop with a wide range of products including insulation materials, system connectors, adhesives, and tools tailored for wood construction professionals and qualified craftsmen. Their market position is strong within Austria as a leading specialist, supported by a network of partner craftsmen and extensive customer service and training offerings. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and good content quality, targeting primarily German-speaking users in Austria. Technically, the site uses ASP.NET WebForms with jQuery and modern tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, though some outdated libraries present minor security concerns. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, but could be improved with updated libraries and additional security headers. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with good privacy compliance and business credibility.

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

5 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 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';…

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 company targets the wood construction industry, providing specialized products such as ecological insulation, system connectors, and sealing solutions. Their business model combines e-commerce with service and training offerings, supported by a network of qualified craftsmen partners. The presence of certifications and trust seals enhances credibility. The website content and navigation are well-structured, supporting both B2B and B2C customers. Marketing and analytics tools are used responsibly with privacy compliance. The company shows signs of steady growth and market leadership in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, anonymized IP tracking, and cookie consent management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version poses a potential risk, and the absence of some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options could be addressed to enhance protection. Incident response and explicit security policies are not publicly available, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options headers to strengthen security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Continue maintaining and enhancing privacy compliance, especially regarding data retention disclosures.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms technology with a custom or proprietary CMS. It uses jQuery 1.8.3, Slick Carousel for image galleries, and AJAX for dynamic content updates. Google Analytics (Universal and GA4), Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Google Ads tracking are integrated with cookie consent. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some potential for improvement by updating libraries and optimizing scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses standard web technologies and shows a mature but slightly dated 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.
