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

MeinMed.at is a reputable Austrian medical information portal operated by RegionalMedien Gesundheit/RMA Gesundheit GmbH. It offers expert-reviewed health articles, free health lectures, webinars, and video content aimed at improving health literacy among patients and the general public in Austria. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and provides comprehensive, trustworthy medical content. Technically, the site uses modern caching and analytics technologies, including Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, and Piano Analytics. However, a critical security gap exists as the site currently lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which poses risks to user data confidentiality and trust. Privacy compliance is well-managed with a cookie consent mechanism and clear privacy and terms of service pages. Overall, the site is a valuable health resource but urgently needs to address its SSL/TLS configuration to improve security 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

4 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

    • 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

  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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MeinMed.at holds a strong market position as a leading Austrian health information portal, leveraging partnerships with local medical experts and RegionalMedien Austria. Its business model centers on providing free, high-quality medical content supported by advertising and partnerships. The portal targets patients and health-conscious individuals in Austria, offering a broad range of services including disease information, health tips, webinars, and newsletters. The company maintains consistent branding and trust signals such as expert content review and social media presence. The domain registration aligns with the business identity, reinforcing legitimacy. The site’s ecosystem includes related media and health sites, enhancing its reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. While no known major vulnerabilities or malware are detected, the lack of encryption exposes users to potential data interception risks. The site employs cookie consent management via OneTrust, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Security headers are minimal, and advanced protections like HSTS and OCSP stapling are not implemented. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not evident. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS configuration and enhancement of security headers are recommended to elevate security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and security readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The site is hosted on an nginx server with Varnish caching, indicating a robust infrastructure for performance optimization. It uses modern analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, Piano Analytics, and Adition for advertising integration. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. However, performance metrics are not provided, and SSL/TLS is not configured, which is a significant technical deficiency. The CMS or platform is not explicitly identified. The site uses standard web technologies and scripts, with no outdated or vulnerable libraries detected. Technical improvements should focus on security hardening and performance monitoring.
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.
