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

Herz Jesu Krankenhaus GmbH is a medium-sized, non-profit orthopaedic specialist hospital located in Vienna, Austria, operating under the parent company Vinzenz Kliniken Wien. The hospital offers specialized healthcare services in orthopaedics, rheumatology, osteology, remobilisation, and operates the largest pulmonological sleep laboratory in Vienna. The website targets patients, visitors, medical professionals, and job seekers, providing comprehensive information about services, events, and career opportunities. The hospital emphasizes professional, personal, and compassionate care with external quality certifications such as the 'Audit Beruf und Familie'. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery frameworks, delivering a responsive and well-structured user experience. However, the site suffers from slow loading times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical security deficiency. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy are well implemented, reflecting good privacy compliance. Social media integration and external partnerships are clearly presented, enhancing the hospital's digital presence. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols severely impacts the security posture, exposing users to potential risks. No advanced security headers or incident response information are found, indicating room for improvement in security maturity. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy and consistency with the hospital's business claims. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent security enhancements, particularly SSL/TLS implementation, to protect user data and improve trust. Performance optimization and additional security best practices are recommended to elevate the site's technical and security standards.

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

8 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

  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

  3. 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"

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

Herz Jesu Krankenhaus holds a unique market position as the only orthopaedic specialist clinic in central Vienna with extensive internal medicine expertise. Its affiliation with the Vinzenz Kliniken Wien group provides a strong partnership ecosystem and brand recognition. The hospital's business model focuses on non-profit healthcare delivery with specialized services in orthopaedics and related fields. Revenue streams likely include patient care services, rehabilitation, and specialized programs like Rapid Recovery. The website's content and external links indicate active engagement with patients and healthcare professionals, supported by digital tools such as a health app and online appointment systems. The presence of a career portal suggests ongoing growth and talent acquisition efforts. Strategic partnerships with other healthcare institutions and rehabilitation centers enhance service offerings and market reach.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The absence of security headers and modern TLS protocols further exacerbates the risk. While no known vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the site does not demonstrate advanced security practices such as incident response policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is well addressed through cookie consent and privacy policies, but the technical security gaps undermine overall trust. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and implementation of security headers are essential to improve the security maturity and protect sensitive user data.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Optimize website performance to reduce load times, improving user experience and SEO.
  5. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including contact channels for security issues.
  6. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and mitigate risks.
  7. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user inclusivity.
  8. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. The technology stack is modern but lacks HTTPS support due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, which is a significant technical debt. The site includes multiple CSS and JavaScript resources, some of which are versioned for cache control. Performance is suboptimal with a load time exceeding 13 seconds and a large number of resources (147) and page size (~214 KB). Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and layouts. SEO is supported by meta tags and canonical links. Hosting is provided by a1.net as indicated by DNS records. There is no evidence of advanced platforms or cloud services. The absence of security headers and session management features indicates potential risks. Overall, the infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security hardening to meet current standards.
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.
