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

The Institut für Krankenhaushygiene und Mikrobiologie (IKM) operates as a specialized healthcare institute under the Steiermärkische Krankenanstaltengesellschaft m.b.H., focusing on hospital hygiene and microbiology services. It serves healthcare professionals, partners, and patients primarily in Austria, offering laboratory analyses, professional guidelines, and career opportunities. The website reflects a solid market position within the regional healthcare sector, emphasizing patient-centered services and clinical relevance. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and integrating privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo. The site is mobile-optimized, well-structured, and provides clear navigation and content relevant to its audience. Cookie consent mechanisms and HTTPS usage demonstrate compliance with privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks explicit security policies or incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious elements were detected. The WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy and consistency of the domain registration with the business entity. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy, professional digital presence with good privacy and security practices, suitable for its healthcare audience. Strategic improvements could include publishing security and incident response policies and enhancing security headers to further strengthen its 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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

IKM is positioned as an essential healthcare entity within Austria's public health infrastructure, affiliated with the larger KAGes group. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized microbiology and hospital hygiene services, supported by a strong regional network of partners and referrers. The business model focuses on service provision to healthcare institutions and professionals, with growth potential in career development and guideline dissemination. The website supports this ecosystem with clear service descriptions and partner resources, reinforcing its role in the healthcare sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent compliance. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers, which are important for comprehensive security governance. The absence of vulnerabilities in the visible content is positive, but ongoing monitoring and policy transparency would enhance trust and compliance, especially under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement additional HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system, ensuring maintainability and scalability. Integration of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-aware approach to user tracking. The site uses responsive design techniques for mobile optimization and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. The use of Google Maps embeds is handled with user consent to comply with privacy regulations. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience aligned with the business goals.
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.
