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

iC Consulenten Ziviltechniker GesmbH is a well-established Austrian engineering consultancy firm specializing in integrative solutions across construction, transportation, environment, and energy sectors. With over 22 years of operation and multiple international offices, the company serves clients requiring complex, interdisciplinary project management and engineering expertise. Their website reflects a professional presence with detailed service offerings and a strong partner network. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies but lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security deficiency. The absence of SSL/TLS exposes visitors to significant risks and undermines trust. Privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy, though incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Business legitimacy is strong, supported by consistent WHOIS data and trust indicators such as certifications and social media presence. Strategic improvements in security posture, especially enabling HTTPS and enhancing security headers, are essential to protect users and improve overall trust.

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

9 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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
  4. 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"

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 · 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

The company holds a strong market position in the engineering consultancy sector, focusing on sustainable and integrative infrastructure projects. Their business model revolves around providing expert consultancy services in multiple specialized fields, supported by a broad partner and subsidiary ecosystem. The firm targets clients in Austria and internationally, emphasizing quality, sustainability, and innovation. Their digital presence supports brand consistency and professional communication, though technical modernization and security enhancements are needed. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and partner companies indicates a diversified and collaborative business approach.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols, absence of DNSSEC, and minimal security headers. While some best practices like 'X-Content-Type-Options' are implemented, critical gaps expose the website and its users to potential interception and data integrity risks. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies are visible, limiting transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent is implemented, but tracking pixels from Meta and LinkedIn indicate moderate user tracking. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and security header configurations is recommended to elevate security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to enhance domain security and certificate issuance control.
  4. Add a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  5. Enhance security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  6. Review and minimize tracking pixels to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  7. Improve accessibility features and conduct performance optimization to reduce load times.
  8. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and CMS to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS with a frontend stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, FlexSlider, and FontAwesome, indicating a mature but somewhat traditional technology stack. The site is hosted on an Apache server with a single IPv4 address. Performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting no recent performance data or slow loading times. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are adequate with proper meta tags and viewport settings. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical risk. The cookie management system is comprehensive, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security hardening to meet current standards.
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.
