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 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

Naturfreunde Österreich operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity focused on nature and outdoor recreation. Its business model revolves around membership fees, educational programs, event organization, and merchandise sales. The organization benefits from a broad network of regional subsidiaries, enhancing its market reach and community engagement. Partnerships and collaborations with other environmental and outdoor organizations strengthen its position. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence, supporting member services and public outreach effectively. Growth indicators include active event promotion and educational offerings. The organization demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and community involvement, which are key competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or use of vulnerable libraries in the analyzed content. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts is moderate and managed with basic transparency. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact details indicates room for improvement in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by formalizing incident response and disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security email address.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency around data collection and retention policies related to analytics and tracking.
  5. Continue to improve accessibility and mobile optimization to maintain excellent user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by the SilverStripe CMS and utilizes a combination of AngularJS and jQuery libraries, along with various UI plugins like Flexslider and BxSlider for interactive content. The technology stack is modern but includes AngularJS, which is an older framework, suggesting potential modernization opportunities. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and lazy loading of content elements. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA attributes. SEO practices are good, with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the presence of security headers and HTTPS indicates a professionally managed infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal but include the need to monitor third-party dependencies for vulnerabilities.
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.
