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

Mediaprint Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftenverlag Gesellschaft m.b.H. & Co KG is a leading Austrian media company operating prominent brands such as Kronen Zeitung and KURIER. The company offers a broad range of media-related services including corporate publishing, printing, logistics, marketing, and subscription management, positioning itself as a market leader in Austria's media sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting both consumers and business clients within Austria. Technically, the site employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome Pro, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Didomi for analytics and consent management. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security gap that undermines user trust and data protection. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the site demonstrates good content quality and business credibility but requires urgent security improvements to meet modern standards.

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

6 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

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

Mediaprint holds a strong market position as Austria's media leader with flagship brands and diversified services spanning publishing, printing, logistics, and marketing. The business model integrates B2B and B2C elements, leveraging subscription services and corporate clients. The company maintains a professional digital presence with clear navigation and relevant content. Partnerships such as with PDW for logistics enhance operational capabilities. The absence of explicit financial or founding data limits deeper business intelligence, but the consistent WHOIS data and domain registration support legitimacy. The company targets Austrian media consumers and businesses requiring comprehensive media solutions.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. While some security headers like HSTS are present, they are ineffective without HTTPS. No advanced security policies or incident response contacts are published. The site uses secure cookie flags and consent management tools, indicating some privacy awareness. The absence of DNSSEC and CAA records further reduces domain security. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and enhancement of security headers is critical to improve the security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and implement OCSP stapling and session resumption.
  3. Add and enforce additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to strengthen domain security and prevent certificate misuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack including Bootstrap 5.2.2, jQuery, and FontAwesome Pro for UI components and icons. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics, and Didomi manages GDPR consent. The site loads external scripts including captcha services and privacy SDKs. Performance metrics are unavailable but inferred slow due to zero loadTime/resourceCount data. Mobile optimization is good with responsive images and layout. Accessibility is basic with no explicit ARIA or accessibility tags detected. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. The lack of a CMS or hosting provider info limits deeper infrastructure analysis. The invalid SSL configuration is a major technical risk affecting user trust and security.
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.
