Österreichische Krebshilfe Vorarlberg is a regional non-profit organization dedicated to cancer prevention, early detection, patient support, and research promotion within the Vorarlberg region of Austria. It operates as a branch of the national Österreichische Krebshilfe, providing localized services including counseling, information dissemination, and specialized cancer care centers. The organization relies on donations and sponsorships to fund its activities and campaigns, targeting cancer patients, their families, and the general public. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, and uses Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and well-structured with clear navigation and comprehensive content. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and disables cookies in analytics to protect user privacy. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the organization's identity, confirming legitimacy and transparency. The site demonstrates good trust indicators such as official contact details, certification seals, and partner links. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform for cancer-related information and support in Vorarlberg. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would further strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

9 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Österreichische Krebshilfe Vorarlberg holds a strong regional position as a trusted cancer help organization affiliated with the national cancer aid network. Its business model is non-profit, funded primarily through donations, sponsorships, and grants. The organization targets cancer patients, their relatives, and healthcare professionals, offering services ranging from counseling to specialized cancer centers and public awareness campaigns. The website reflects a mature digital presence with partnerships to national campaigns like Pink Ribbon and certified donation practices. Growth opportunities include expanding digital engagement and enhancing compliance frameworks to meet evolving data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and analytics are configured to disable cookies, reflecting privacy-conscious practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, which could limit preparedness for security events. GDPR compliance is mostly addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a notable compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhancements in headers, policies, and user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user transparency.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program and hosting a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security practices to align with evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system suitable for non-profit organizations. It uses Matomo analytics configured to disable cookies, enhancing privacy compliance. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features. Meta tags and SEO optimizations are well implemented, including Open Graph and Twitter card metadata. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the organization's needs. However, the absence of certain security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates areas for technical improvement. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for security enhancements.
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.
