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

4 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

  2. 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 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';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ikp operates in the media and communications sector, targeting businesses and organizations in Austria requiring PR and strategic communication services. Their business model is based on full-service agency offerings, including specialized taskforces for crisis communication and influencer marketing. The company shows growth through acquisitions such as burn communications and maintains a strong social media presence across LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. Their partnership with design agencies and dedicated press center subdomains indicate a well-developed ecosystem. ikp's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service portfolio, regional presence, and award-winning reputation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, no explicit security policy or incident response contact information is found, which could be a gap in transparency. Security headers are not detected in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement in hardening the web server. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. The absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy limits the ability for external security researchers to report issues. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional headers and explicit security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact channels to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party plugins and scripts to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It uses jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and Borlabs Cookie for cookie management and consent. The site is multilingual via WPML, supporting German and English. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site uses asynchronous loading for some scripts and includes social media integration. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could be addressed to reduce risks and improve compliance.
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.
