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

The website holzbaukarte.at serves as a regional informational and promotional platform dedicated to showcasing notable wood construction projects in the Steiermark region of Austria. Operated under the proHolz Steiermark brand, it targets planners, students, builders, and wood construction enthusiasts by providing an interactive map, educational materials, and project information. The site leverages TYPO3 CMS and integrates Google Maps for location-based services, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. While the site is well-branded and content-rich, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced and secure cookie practices are observed, but the use of an outdated jQuery version and absence of security headers present vulnerabilities that should be addressed. Overall, the site is legitimate and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security hardening.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

proHolz Steiermark positions itself as a key regional promoter of wood construction, combining educational outreach with project visibility. Its business model focuses on providing resources and visibility rather than direct commercial transactions. The partnership ecosystem includes regional educational and industry bodies, enhancing its credibility and reach. The target audience includes professionals and enthusiasts in the wood construction sector, as well as educational institutions. Growth indicators include regular updates to project listings and integration with regional award programs. The absence of direct contact details on the main site suggests a focus on informational rather than transactional engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and secure cookie settings. However, the use of an outdated jQuery library version 1.12.4 introduces potential security risks due to known vulnerabilities in older jQuery versions. The lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the site's defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or security policies are published, indicating limited transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. Overall, the site is functional and secure at a basic level but requires updates and policy enhancements to improve resilience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  4. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and incident reporting.
  5. Consider publishing a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program to demonstrate commitment to security and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system, indicating a stable technical foundation. It uses jQuery 1.12.4, which is outdated and should be upgraded. Google Maps API is integrated for interactive location services, enhancing user engagement. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and JavaScript files, some of which are custom scripts for UI elements like multi-select filters and carousels. Performance is moderate with no major blocking issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA roles and keyboard navigation hints present but could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found in the content provided.
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.
