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

KAPPER NETWORK-COMMUNICATIONS GmbH is an established Austrian telecommunications and IT service provider founded in 1998. The company offers a broad range of services including internet access, networking, server and cloud hosting, IT security and data protection, as well as VoIP telephony solutions. Their market position is solid within Austria, supported by a long domain history and ISO 9001 certification, indicating quality management practices. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Slider Revolution and Contact Form 7. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and uses privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled). However, there is room for improvement in security headers and DNS security (DNSSEC not enabled). Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security score. Privacy compliance is strong regarding GDPR with a comprehensive privacy policy, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website and business demonstrate a trustworthy and professional presence with minor technical and compliance improvements recommended to enhance security and privacy further.

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

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 company targets Austrian businesses requiring reliable internet and communication solutions. Their business model focuses on providing tailored networking, cloud, and IT security services, leveraging their own ecological data center (vivi1) to appeal to environmentally conscious customers. The presence of ISO 9001 certification and a 20+ year domain age supports their credibility. Social media engagement across multiple platforms indicates active marketing and community presence. The company appears medium-sized with a focus on quality and customer service rather than mass-market volume.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and disables cookies in Matomo analytics, reflecting good privacy practices. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security are notable gaps. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could be improved. The site does not expose sensitive information or use vulnerable libraries visibly. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with clear areas for enhancement to meet best practices and compliance standards like NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve overall DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from outdated components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with popular plugins such as Slider Revolution for rich media content and Contact Form 7 for user interactions. It employs Matomo analytics configured to disable cookies, enhancing privacy. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid certificate, but lacks advanced security headers. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident. Mobile responsiveness is good, and SEO metadata is well implemented including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is eNom, LLC. Overall, the technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and cookie management 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.
