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

The Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft Salzburg is a regional non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by Multiple Sclerosis and their families in Salzburg, Austria. The website provides comprehensive information about MS, social support services, events, and educational resources including podcasts and online talks. The organization positions itself as a trusted local resource for MS-related assistance and community engagement. Technically, the website is built on Joomla CMS using modern frameworks such as Bootstrap 5 and jQuery, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a good level of digital maturity and privacy awareness. Structured data is implemented for improved SEO and navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and cookie consent but lacks advanced security headers and a formal security policy or incident response contact. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is supported by a clear privacy policy and cookie banner, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its target audience. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and accessibility could further enhance its security posture and compliance standing.

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

    • 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. 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

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

The organization operates in the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on MS patient support and education. Its business model centers on providing free or low-cost advisory and social services, community events, and educational content. The target audience includes MS patients, their families, and healthcare professionals in Salzburg. The website serves as a key communication and engagement platform, supporting the organization's mission and outreach efforts. No commercial or revenue-generating activities are evident. The organization maintains a clear regional focus with no detected subsidiaries or parent companies. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no related domains were identified.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options), a published security policy, or incident response contacts. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of tracking or advertising scripts reduces privacy risks. GDPR compliance is supported by a privacy policy and cookie banner. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, representing potential gaps. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-commercial informational site but could be improved to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain regular updates of Joomla CMS and all third-party libraries to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

The website is built on Joomla CMS with the Helix Ultimate template framework, leveraging Bootstrap 5 and jQuery for responsive design and interactivity. Google Fonts and FontAwesome are used for typography and icons. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and clear navigation structure. SEO is supported by meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for breadcrumbs. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed.

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.
