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

The website represents the Austrian Federal Association of Medical and Healing Masseurs (BHÖ), a professional non-profit organization founded in 2002 to represent and support the interests of medical masseurs in Austria. The site provides member services, therapist search functionality, news updates, and job postings, targeting healthcare professionals and the general public seeking therapeutic massage services. The business model is focused on professional representation and member engagement within the healthcare sector in Austria. Technically, the website is built on Microsoft ASP.NET WebForms using the STYRIAWEB CMS platform, with client-side technologies including jQuery 1.8.3 and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented, indicating awareness of GDPR compliance, though some modern security practices such as updated libraries and security headers are lacking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which could expose it to vulnerabilities. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, which impacts trustworthiness. No explicit incident response or security policies are publicly available. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from technical and security improvements. The domain registration inconsistency is a notable risk factor. Strategic recommendations include updating technology stack components, enhancing security headers, and clarifying domain registration details to improve trust and compliance.

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

  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

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 BHÖ operates as a niche professional association within Austria's healthcare sector, focusing on medical and healing masseurs. Its competitive advantage lies in its established presence since 2002 and comprehensive member services including therapist search and job listings. Revenue streams likely include membership fees and service advertisements. The target customer segments are healthcare professionals and patients seeking qualified therapists. Growth indicators include active news updates and event postings. The partnership with STYRIAWEB for CMS and hosting indicates a stable technical ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest the association maintains a solid national presence but should improve digital transparency and security to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is implemented, and cookie consent is present, supporting basic privacy compliance. However, the use of outdated jQuery 1.8.3 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, limiting preparedness and transparency. GDPR compliance is indicated but could be enhanced with clearer data protection officer contact details. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant trust and legitimacy concern. Overall, the security posture requires improvements to reduce risk and align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and all client-side libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS data is publicly available to improve legitimacy and trust.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  5. Enhance mobile responsiveness and accessibility to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy ASP.NET WebForms framework using the STYRIAWEB CMS platform, with jQuery 1.8.3 and AJAX for client-side interactivity. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking with IP anonymization. The site shows moderate performance but lacks modern responsive design features and accessibility enhancements. The HTML structure is valid but could be modernized. No advanced frameworks or platforms like React or Angular are detected. Hosting provider details are not available. The technical debt includes outdated libraries and missing security headers, which pose risks to stability and security. Modernization opportunities include upgrading the tech stack, improving SEO metadata, and enhancing performance optimization.
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.
