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

Holz macht Schule is an educational initiative operated by proHolz Steiermark, focusing on promoting awareness and knowledge about wood, forests, sustainability, and climate protection primarily targeting kindergartens, schools, and families in Styria, Austria. The website offers a variety of learning materials, workshops, digital media education, and rental materials to support environmental education. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and uses several JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and FlipClock.js, providing a moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure cookie settings, but lacks explicit security headers and updated libraries. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professionally branded, and aligned with its regional educational mission.

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. 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

The website represents a small-sized, regionally focused non-profit educational entity with strong partnerships, notably with the Pädagogische Hochschule Steiermark. Its business model revolves around providing free educational resources and workshops to schools and kindergartens, supported by proHolz Steiermark. The site maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages partnerships to enhance its offerings. Market positioning is strong within its niche, supported by official cooperation agreements. Revenue streams are likely grant or sponsorship-based, typical for non-profit educational organizations. The partnership ecosystem includes related educational initiatives and cultural programs, enhancing its reach and credibility.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS and uses secure cookie attributes, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating a gap in security governance. Data protection practices are not fully transparent due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is functional and secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and communicate a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide explicit cookie consent mechanisms to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature open-source content management system, and uses several frontend libraries including jQuery 1.12.4, FlipClock.js, Magnific Popup, jQuery UI, and Selectric. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements possible by updating libraries and optimizing assets. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Hosting details are not explicitly provided. The technical stack is stable but shows some technical debt in outdated libraries and missing security headers.
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.
