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

Montessori Campus Wien Hütteldorf is an established educational institution in Vienna, Austria, providing Montessori-based education from early childhood through secondary levels, including the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Founded in 1995, it targets parents seeking comprehensive Montessori education for children aged 0 to 18 years. The website offers detailed pedagogical content, program descriptions, and contact information, reflecting a strong educational focus and community engagement. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and CSS, but lacks modern CMS or advanced frameworks. Security posture is moderate with no visible HTTPS confirmation or security headers, and the use of an outdated jQuery version presents potential vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved security and privacy practices.

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

11 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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 Montessori Campus Wien operates in the education sector, focusing on Montessori pedagogy and the IB Diploma Programme, positioning itself as a medium-sized, reputable school in Vienna. Its business model centers on providing educational services across multiple age groups, supplemented by ancillary services such as a Bed & Breakfast guesthouse and agricultural education via a farm and food cooperative. The institution leverages community involvement and experiential learning as competitive advantages. The website reflects a stable market presence with clear contact channels and social media engagement limited to Facebook. No direct revenue streams or partnerships are evident from the website content. Growth indicators include a comprehensive curriculum and integration of international programs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with no explicit HTTPS confirmation in the provided data and absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery library (version 3.2.1) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No forms or data collection points were detected, reducing immediate risk of data leakage. Privacy policy is present but lacks cookie consent mechanisms, indicating partial GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, suggesting limited preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and ensure all site content is served securely.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about cookie usage.
  5. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery 3.2.1 and jQuery UI libraries. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. The site includes responsive meta tags but mobile optimization is basic. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. SEO is supported by meta keywords and description tags, and navigation is clear with structured menus. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not available, limiting full technical assessment. The site could benefit from modernization and improved technical infrastructure to enhance performance 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.
