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

Lawinen.report is a government-affiliated website operated by the Amt der Tiroler Landesregierung, providing authoritative avalanche forecasts, weather data, and educational resources primarily for the Tirol region and neighboring Alpine areas. The site serves outdoor enthusiasts, avalanche professionals, and the general public with timely and region-specific avalanche safety information. It maintains a strong regional presence with partnerships linking to other official weather and avalanche services in South Tyrol and Trentino. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript modules and Leaflet.js for interactive mapping, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and domain protections in place, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are absent, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is adequate with a privacy policy present, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-aligned with its governmental mission, though it could enhance security and privacy transparency further.

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

7 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 operates as a public service under the Tirol government, focusing on avalanche safety and weather information. Its business model is non-commercial, emphasizing public safety and education. The site benefits from strong regional partnerships and government backing, enhancing its credibility and reach. Its target audience includes skiers, mountaineers, and avalanche professionals in the Alpine region. The site’s content and services position it as a key regional resource for avalanche forecasting and education, with growth potential through expanded data services and community engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes official weather services and European avalanche organizations, supporting comprehensive regional coverage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes protective statuses. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. Privacy compliance is partially met with a privacy policy but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end architecture with JavaScript modules and Leaflet.js for interactive maps. It employs CSS animations and SVG graphics for visual effects. The site appears to be custom-built or static, with no detected CMS. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS uses world-direct.at name servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site uses a web manifest and favicons for PWA-like features. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with improved accessibility and SEO practices.
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.
