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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

Kaernten.at operates as a regional tourism promotion platform, serving as a key information hub for visitors to Kärnten, Austria. Its business model focuses on providing detailed travel and accommodation information, likely funded or supported by regional government or tourism boards. The multilingual approach and partnerships with sister sites in various languages indicate a strategic effort to attract international tourists. The site’s integration with multiple external service providers and marketing tools suggests a well-established ecosystem for tourism marketing and user engagement. The absence of direct contact information on the main page may indicate centralized contact management or reliance on partner sites for direct inquiries. The site’s market position is strong within its niche, leveraging official branding and trust signals to maintain credibility.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and no signs of insecure content or exposed sensitive data. Cookie consent is implemented with clear user choice, including disclosures about data processing involving US-based third parties, reflecting GDPR awareness. The use of Matomo analytics and Google Tag Manager is balanced with privacy controls. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy are not visibly present in the HTML source, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed, which is common for such public-facing tourism sites but could be enhanced for transparency. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene appropriate for its business type.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish or provide accessible security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them to latest secure versions.
  4. Enhance contact information availability to facilitate user support and compliance inquiries.
  5. Maintain and update cookie consent mechanisms to reflect evolving privacy regulations and user expectations.

The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with clear meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO.

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.
