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

Hotel Alte Schmiede is a traditional 4-star hotel located in the center of Seefeld, Austria, offering hospitality services including hotel rooms, apartments, a wellness area with an indoor pool, and an à la carte restaurant. The website targets tourists and travelers seeking quality accommodation and leisure services in the region. The business positions itself as an established player in the hospitality sector with a focus on comfort and tradition. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, Elementor for page building, and WPML for multilingual support. The site employs modern web technologies and SEO best practices, including structured data (JSON-LD) and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and implements a cookie consent mechanism, indicating some level of privacy compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers and dedicated security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

The risk level is low, but improvements in security headers and privacy policy transparency are recommended to enhance compliance and security posture.

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.

Priority findings

7 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

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

Hotel Alte Schmiede operates in the hospitality industry, focusing on providing 4-star hotel accommodation, wellness services, and dining experiences in Seefeld, Austria. The business model revolves around direct bookings for rooms and apartments, supported by e-commerce features for gift vouchers. The target customers are leisure travelers and tourists seeking premium lodging and wellness amenities. The website's multilingual support indicates an international customer base. The company leverages modern digital tools for marketing and analytics, suggesting a moderate level of digital maturity. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, indicating an independent small business. The presence of trust indicators such as professional design and structured data supports a positive market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder effective handling of security incidents. The use of popular and regularly updated plugins like WooCommerce and Elementor reduces vulnerability risks, but continuous monitoring and updates are essential. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. To improve, the business should implement security headers, publish security policies, and consider a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear privacy policy and terms of service page to improve transparency and GDPR compliance.
  3. Add an incident response or security contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to facilitate reporting and handling of security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Elementor as the page builder and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It uses WPML for multilingual support, enabling German, English, and Italian languages. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, including jQuery and Font Awesome libraries. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site employs WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization. The design is responsive and mobile-friendly, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags and JSON-LD structured data. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but some accessibility features could be improved. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found in the content.
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.
