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

The website www.innsbruck.at serves as the official digital presence for the city of Innsbruck, Austria, encompassing municipal services, tourism promotion, and marketing activities. It targets residents, visitors, and businesses, providing authoritative information and links to related official sites. The business model is governmental and tourism-oriented, positioning itself as a trusted source for local information and services. Technically, the site is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery. It integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and user experience, though accessibility and SEO could be further enhanced. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and a cookie consent mechanism, which are important for GDPR compliance and security hardening. No incident response or security policy information is published, indicating room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its governmental role. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security practices would enhance its risk posture and user 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.

Priority findings

5 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. 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

  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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

The website reflects a strong market position as the official city government portal for Innsbruck, supported by related tourism and marketing entities. Its competitive advantage lies in authoritative content and official endorsements. The business model is primarily informational and promotional, targeting local citizens and tourists. Revenue streams are likely government-funded and through tourism promotion. The partnership ecosystem includes municipal government and tourism organizations, indicating a collaborative approach to city branding and services. Growth indicators include active marketing and event promotion. The site’s operations emphasize transparency and public service.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is implemented, and no sensitive data leaks are evident. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-aware approach. However, the absence of security headers, cookie consent, and published security policies indicates gaps in compliance and defense-in-depth. Incident response readiness is unclear due to lack of published contacts or procedures. GDPR compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. The security culture appears basic, with opportunities to enhance transparency and user protection.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Webflow CMS, enabling modern responsive design and ease of content management. The tech stack includes jQuery 3.5.1 and Matomo analytics, indicating a balance between functionality and privacy. Hosting utilizes Cloudfront CDN for static assets, improving performance. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization. However, accessibility features are basic, and SEO metadata is minimal. There is no evidence of advanced backend technologies or APIs. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy mechanisms are recommended to reduce risk.
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.
