49/100

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

The website hotelwerk.at is a professional service provider specializing in hotel marketing, branding, consulting, technology, and AI tools tailored for the hospitality industry. The site targets hotels and hospitality businesses seeking modern marketing and technological solutions to enhance their market presence. The business appears to be a small-sized entity based in Austria, focusing on niche services within the hospitality sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor as the page builder and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and WPRocket for performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good design quality and user experience, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks explicit security headers and documented security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information and incident response details are also missing, which could impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security policies, and clearer contact information to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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. 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

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 · found on this site
  • 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

Hotelwerk.at operates in the hospitality marketing niche, offering consulting, branding, marketing, technology, and AI tools. The business model is service-oriented, targeting hotels and hospitality businesses primarily in Austria. The company leverages modern digital marketing tools and platforms to deliver its services. The website's market position is that of a specialized boutique agency with a focus on integrating technology and AI into hotel marketing strategies. There is no evidence of parent companies or subsidiaries. The site’s content and branding are consistent, supporting a coherent market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and good SSL configuration. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which are important for compliance and user trust. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate user tracking, but no explicit privacy or cookie consent mechanisms were found, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident reporting.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for optimization. It uses WPRocket for caching and performance improvements and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site loads fonts from its own domain and external sources, and preconnects to Google Tag Manager for performance. The HTML is valid and well-structured, with responsive design elements. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and caching strategies. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML 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.
