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

Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltengesellschaft m.b.H. (KAGes) is a large public healthcare organization operating the regional hospitals and nursing homes in the Steiermark region of Austria. Founded in 1985, it serves over 1.2 million patients annually with a workforce of approximately 18,500 employees. The website provides comprehensive information about patient services, partner and referrer resources, career opportunities, and locations. It is built on TYPO3 CMS and integrates modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Google Maps. The site demonstrates strong branding consistency and professional content quality, targeting patients, healthcare partners, and prospective employees. Security headers are well configured; however, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical security weaknesses. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained but requires urgent SSL/TLS remediation to improve 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

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

KAGes holds a leading position in the regional healthcare market, providing essential medical and nursing services. Its business model is focused on public healthcare delivery with additional services such as patient portals and educational programs. The organization maintains partnerships with multiple regional hospitals and healthcare providers, as reflected in linked domains. The career portal and educational academy indicate investment in workforce development. The website's content and navigation are designed to serve multiple stakeholder groups effectively, supporting patient engagement and partner collaboration. The presence of a whistleblower system domain suggests attention to compliance and ethical standards.

Security posture

The website employs multiple security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and HSTS, indicating a mature security configuration. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols severely undermine the security posture, exposing users to potential interception and trust issues. No known vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or POODLE are detected. Cookie security is enhanced with HttpOnly and SameSite attributes. Incident response and security policy documentation are not found on the site. Overall, the site is partially secure but requires immediate SSL/TLS fixes to meet modern security standards and maintain user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable support for modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Add explicit security policy and incident response information accessible to users and partners.
  5. Regularly audit and update Content Security Policy to cover all external resources and scripts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap and JavaScript libraries for UI components and analytics. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for user tracking and marketing insights. The site embeds Google Maps for location services and uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance. However, performance metrics are missing, indicating a potential gap in monitoring. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with responsive design and semantic HTML elements. Hosting is on IP 145.244.9.136 with DNS managed by rcode0.net nameservers. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records suggests room for DNS security improvements.
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.
