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

issp.at is a specialized Austrian web hosting and domain registration provider offering a range of webspace and domain packages tailored for private customers, businesses, and resellers. The company positions itself as a reliable and affordable specialist in the Austrian market, with a business history dating back to 1999. Their website presents clear service offerings, pricing, and customer support options including a free service hotline and webmail access. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including jQuery and Bootstrap icons, with secure HTTPS connections and CSRF protection on forms. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured, though some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are not evident. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and secure form handling. However, the absence of visible security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts suggest room for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, which limits transparency but is common for commercial providers. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences. The main risk is the lack of WHOIS transparency and some missing security best practices. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, and publishing security and incident response policies to improve compliance and 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

7 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

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

issp operates in the technology sector focusing on domain registration and web hosting services primarily in Austria. Their business model targets private customers, businesses, and resellers with tiered hosting packages and domain services. The company leverages customer recommendations as a trust and marketing mechanism, offering bonuses for referrals. The presence of uptime monitoring links and a free hotline indicates a customer-centric approach. The company appears to be small-sized with a long operational history since 1999, suggesting stable market presence. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The website content and service offerings reflect a focused and specialized business with moderate digital maturity.

Security posture

The security posture of issp.at is moderate to good. The website uses HTTPS and includes CSRF tokens in forms, which are positive security controls. Password fields have autocomplete disabled, reducing risk of credential leakage. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and preparedness signals. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may be a GDPR compliance gap. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but could improve in advanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct audits to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard web technologies including jQuery 3.5.1 and Bootstrap Icons 1.4.1. It uses PHP 8.4 on the hosting side as indicated by hosting package features. The site is mobile responsive and includes proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Forms are protected with CSRF tokens and use secure input attributes. External resources are loaded from trusted CDNs such as ajax.googleapis.com and jsdelivr.net. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with no obvious issues. The site lacks advanced frameworks or platforms but is technically sound for its business scope. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and add analytics for business insights while maintaining privacy.
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.
