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

Kloster Mehrerau is a religious institution operating as the Zisterzienserabtei Wettingen-Mehrerau located in Bregenz, Austria. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for visitors and community members, offering information about monastic life, guest accommodations, events, and spiritual services. The institution positions itself as a vibrant community hub with a focus on faith, hospitality, and cultural engagement. The site features detailed event calendars, news updates, and opportunities for donations, reflecting an active and engaged organization. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, and CookieHub for privacy compliance. The site is served over HTTPS with good security practices such as IP anonymization in analytics and a cookie consent mechanism. The design is professional, mobile-optimized, and accessible, providing a positive user experience. However, some security headers are not explicitly detected, and no dedicated security policy or incident response information is published. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a solid baseline with HTTPS and privacy compliance but could improve by publishing explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure information. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to quota limits, but the website content and contact details strongly support legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, Kloster Mehrerau presents a trustworthy, well-maintained online presence suitable for its non-profit religious mission. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing security and incident response policies, and continuing to maintain privacy compliance and transparency.

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

3 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Kloster Mehrerau operates in the non-profit religious sector, providing spiritual services, community engagement, and hospitality offerings such as guest accommodations and seminars. The institution leverages its historical and cultural significance to attract visitors and supporters. Its business model relies on community support, donations, and event hosting. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation and rich content, supporting outreach and engagement. Partnerships such as 'wirsindmehrerau.at' indicate a broader ecosystem of affiliated initiatives. The organization targets a broad audience including local community members, visitors, and those interested in spirituality and cultural heritage. Growth indicators include active event programming and ongoing monastery renovations funded by donations.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, privacy-conscious analytics configurations, and a cookie consent mechanism. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could hinder transparency and readiness in case of security incidents. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries based on the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact details on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize potential security 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.
