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

The website marktstmartin.at serves as the official online presence of the Gemeindeamt Markt St. Martin, a municipal government entity in Austria. It provides comprehensive information about the community, including news, events, municipal services, tourism, and contact details. The site targets local residents and visitors, offering a user-friendly platform to access essential community resources and updates. The business model is typical of a government website, focusing on public service and community engagement rather than commercial activities. Technically, the website employs a modern but straightforward technology stack including jQuery, Tether, Bootstrap, and PhotoSwipe for image galleries. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured, with good SEO and accessibility basics. Performance is moderate, and the site uses HTTPS, although explicit security headers are not detected. Google Analytics is included but commented out, indicating a cautious approach to user tracking and privacy. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a basic but adequate posture. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, consistent with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, reflecting the legitimacy of a local government entity. It effectively balances user experience, content quality, and privacy considerations. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility compliance to further strengthen the site's security and compliance 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

7 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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

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

Markt St. Martin's municipal website positions itself as a central information hub for the local community and visitors. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive local content, including detailed sections on community services, tourism, and events. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service delivery. Revenue streams are not applicable. The target customer segments include residents, local businesses, tourists, and community organizations. Growth indicators include regular news updates and event listings. The partnership ecosystem includes local tourism and web design partners. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining up-to-date content and enhancing digital services to improve community engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic security maturity level appropriate for a municipal site. HTTPS is enforced, but security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but incident response readiness is not documented. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact channels indicates limited security culture maturity. Business impact of current gaps is moderate, with recommendations to improve header implementation and publish security policies to enhance trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards such as WCAG 2.1.
  5. Consider enabling Google Analytics with privacy-friendly configurations and update privacy notices accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, Tether, and Bootstrap frameworks, indicating a moderately modern front-end technology stack. The presence of PhotoSwipe suggests attention to user experience in image galleries. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with semantic HTML elements. Performance is moderate, with no obvious technical debt or broken elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of explicit CMS identification suggests a custom or lightweight CMS solution, which may require dedicated maintenance. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance to reduce technical risks.
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.
