The website 'immobilien-messe.at' represents the Wiener Immobilien Messe (WIM), Austria's largest real estate exhibition focused on residential properties. Organized by Austrian Exhibition Experts GmbH, the site offers detailed information about the event scheduled for March 14-15, 2026, including exhibitor details, visitor guidance, and related services such as financing and legal advice. The platform targets prospective property buyers, investors, and industry professionals, positioning itself as a key marketplace in the Austrian real estate sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins like Yoast SEO, Complianz GDPR Cookie Consent, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a moderate performance profile. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, email obfuscation, and use of security-related plugins, although some security headers could be improved. From a security and compliance perspective, the site is GDPR compliant with a clear cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy. Contact information is transparent and professionally presented. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators were found. However, the absence of a security policy or incident response contact is noted. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business purpose. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and considering a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further strengthen trust 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.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • 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 Wiener Immobilien Messe is a medium-sized event organizer specializing in real estate exhibitions in Austria. Its competitive advantage lies in being the largest residential property marketplace in Austria, attracting over 60 exhibitors and 5,000 visitors. The business model revolves around event management, ticket sales, and providing a platform for real estate professionals and buyers to connect. Revenue streams likely include exhibitor fees, ticket sales, and sponsorships. The target customers are property buyers, investors, and real estate service providers. The company maintains partnerships with related events and service providers, enhancing its ecosystem. Growth indicators include consistent event scheduling and expanding exhibitor and visitor numbers. The company operates with a professional digital presence and strong compliance adherence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security plugins deployed. Email addresses are protected via JavaScript obfuscation to reduce spam risk. Cookie consent is managed via a GDPR-compliant plugin, and tracking is limited to Google Tag Manager with consent denied by default. However, some standard security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be verified. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Overall, the site is secure for its business context but could improve in formalizing security governance and disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core and plugins to mitigate emerging vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using a child theme of Bricks, optimized with Yoast SEO for search engine visibility. It employs several plugins for GDPR compliance, email obfuscation, and security hardening. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, with user consent management integrated. Performance is moderate, with caching and image optimization plugins in use. Mobile responsiveness and accessibility are well addressed. The technical stack is current and well-maintained, though some minor improvements in security headers and performance tuning could be beneficial. Hosting provider details are not explicitly disclosed but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate.
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.
