Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.karinthie.com serves as an official travel guide for the Karinthië region in Austria, targeting tourists seeking vacation information including tips, activities, hotels, and regional highlights. The site is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages modern frontend technologies and analytics tools such as Matomo and Cookiebot for consent management. The content is primarily in Dutch and is well-structured for tourism promotion. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers are missing and no explicit incident response or security policies are published. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, but the website content and external partnerships suggest a legitimate tourism portal. Overall, the site demonstrates good digital maturity with room for improvement in security transparency and contact information availability.

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

4 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

      Forces HTTPS connections

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

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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 positions itself as a regional tourism information portal for Karinthië, Austria, serving a niche market of Dutch-speaking tourists. It benefits from partnerships with official regional tourism domains and integrates multiple advertising and tracking services to monetize and analyze visitor behavior. The business model revolves around providing comprehensive travel content and promoting local hospitality services. The lack of explicit company contact details and WHOIS data limits full business credibility assessment. However, the site’s consistent branding, multilingual support via hreflang tags, and integration with recognized ad networks and analytics platforms indicate a professional operation with growth potential in the tourism sector.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a baseline of privacy and security awareness. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security.txt or incident response contact information, which are best practices for vulnerability disclosure and incident handling. The use of multiple third-party tracking and advertising services increases the attack surface and privacy risks, though these are managed via consent. Overall, the security posture is moderate with opportunities to enhance header configurations and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page including contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance contact information visibility on the website to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS with a modern frontend stack including Foundation CSS framework, jQuery, Font Awesome, Owl Carousel, Select2, and Tooltipster. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Analytics, with Cookiebot managing user consent. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and hreflang annotations for multilingual support. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. No hosting provider information was found. The technical setup is robust for a regional tourism site but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility features.
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.
