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

Kirchedirekt.at is a German-language website focused on providing church-related information and community services in Austria. The site offers advice, FAQs, and cultural heritage information related to church buildings, targeting a general audience interested in church and social institution topics. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and features a professional design with clear navigation and mobile optimization. However, the absence of WHOIS data and domain registration details limits full trust verification. Security posture is moderate with no detected security headers or cookie consent mechanisms, and no analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating a privacy-conscious approach. Overall, the site is functional and informative but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.

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

    • 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. 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 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';…
  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention kirchedirekt.at, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

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 operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on church and cultural heritage in Austria. It serves a niche community audience with informational content and contact services. The business model appears to be community service and information dissemination without commercial transactions. The site maintains consistent branding and provides clear contact channels, including phone, WhatsApp, and email. Lack of WHOIS transparency and security policies may impact perceived credibility. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the data. The site’s market position is that of a specialized informational resource within the Austrian church community.

Security posture

The security maturity level is basic to moderate. The site uses HTTPS (implied by canonical URLs), but no security headers were detected in the provided data. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were found. The site lacks a security.txt or similar vulnerability disclosure document. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but requires improvements to align with best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Obtain and publish domain WHOIS information or ensure registrar data is accessible to improve legitimacy.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with custom CSS and JavaScript assets. The site is mobile optimized and features a clear navigation structure. Performance is moderate with no obvious technical debt or errors in the provided HTML. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and canonical tags present but no Open Graph or structured data. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Hosting provider details are not available. The site would benefit from enhanced accessibility features and improved SEO metadata.
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.
