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

IT-Kommunal operates a Hinweisportal website tailored for the public administration sector in Austria, providing IT solutions to help organizations detect and address issues proactively. The website is built on the Wix platform, leveraging Wix Thunderbolt technology, and demonstrates a basic but consistent design and content quality suitable for a small business focused on government clients. The technical infrastructure is modern and mobile-optimized, though performance is moderate and accessibility features are basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and good SSL configuration, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and no visible consent mechanisms. Business credibility is moderate, supported by consistent WHOIS data and domain legitimacy, but contact information and trust signals are missing. Overall, the site is functional and safe but requires improvements in privacy, security policies, and contact transparency to enhance 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

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 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';…

  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 company targets public administration and legal entities in both private and public sectors, offering a specialized whistleblowing and incident reporting portal. The business model is B2B software/services with a niche focus on compliance and risk mitigation for governmental organizations. Market positioning is specialized with limited direct competition in this segment. The website content and metadata emphasize tailored IT solutions for public sector needs. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are identified. Revenue streams likely derive from software licensing or service contracts. Growth indicators and strategic partnerships are not disclosed. The company maintains a consistent brand presence but lacks extensive digital marketing or social proof on the analyzed page.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security events. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security maturity is basic, suitable for informational sites but requiring enhancements for handling sensitive data or compliance obligations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance and user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Develop and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to foster responsible reporting and transparency.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimizations to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Wix, utilizing Wix Thunderbolt framework and standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript). It loads resources from Wix static domains and uses modern font embedding from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with no evident heavy scripts or third-party trackers. Mobile optimization is good due to Wix's responsive design capabilities. However, the site lacks advanced SEO metadata beyond basic Open Graph tags and canonical links. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA landmarks or enhanced keyboard navigation detected. The technical stack is modern but limited by Wix platform constraints, which may restrict custom security or performance enhancements.
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.
