Hotel Restaurant Höldrichsmühle is a historic hospitality business located in Hinterbrühl, Austria, offering hotel accommodation, restaurant services, seminar facilities, wedding venues, and equestrian activities. The business targets tourists, local visitors, and corporate clients seeking event spaces near Vienna. The website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and SEO optimizations, providing a good user experience and clear navigation. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate is a critical security flaw that undermines user trust and data protection. The site implements cookie consent mechanisms and displays contact information prominently, but lacks advanced security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the business appears legitimate and well-established, but the website's security posture requires urgent improvement to meet modern standards.

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.

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
Critical
No HTTPS encryption
GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company operates in the hospitality sector with a focus on regional tourism and event hosting. Its competitive advantage lies in its historic location, environmental certification, and diverse service offerings including seminars and equestrian programs. Revenue streams likely include room bookings, restaurant sales, event hosting fees, and equestrian services. The target customer segments include leisure travelers, business clients, families, and wedding parties. The partnership ecosystem includes local environmental organizations and voucher sales platforms. The business demonstrates consistent branding and a professional online presence, supporting growth and customer engagement.
Security posture
The website currently lacks a valid HTTPS certificate, exposing users to potential data interception risks. Security headers are minimal, with no HSTS, DMARC, DNSSEC, or CAA records configured. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the lack of encryption and email security policies represents significant compliance gaps, especially under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, but overall data protection practices could be enhanced. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the site.
Recommendations
Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
Configure DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records to protect email integrity and reduce phishing risks.
Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed GDPR information and data retention policies.
Improve website performance metrics and accessibility features for better user experience.
The website runs on a WordPress CMS platform with popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Contact Form 7. It uses nginx as the web server and is hosted likely by A1 Telekom Austria AG, consistent with the domain registrar and DNS nameservers. The site loads external scripts for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Performance data is missing or zero, indicating potential caching or measurement issues. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern fonts and CSS styling. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers is a major technical risk. The site could benefit from improved caching, compression, and security hardening to enhance reliability and user trust.
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.
