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

next layer Telekommunikationsdienstleistungs- und Beratungs GmbH is an Austrian owner-managed Internet Service Provider specializing in tailored cloud, network, and server infrastructure solutions for business customers. With over 20 years of market experience and three data center locations, the company positions itself as a reliable partner for enterprise-grade IT infrastructure. The website reflects a professional digital presence built on TYPO3 CMS, featuring comprehensive service descriptions and customer references. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support significantly undermines the security posture, exposing users to potential risks. The company demonstrates compliance with GDPR through a detailed privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism implemented via Cookiebot. Matomo analytics is used with privacy-conscious settings, indicating a commitment to user privacy. Overall, the business credibility is strong, but technical security improvements are urgently needed.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

The company targets Austrian business customers requiring robust cloud and network infrastructure, leveraging its 20 years of experience and ISO 27001 certification as competitive advantages. Revenue is indicated at approximately 26.43 million EUR with 70 employees, suggesting a medium-sized enterprise. The business model focuses on customized ISP services including colocation, cloud services, and consulting. The website links to numerous reputable partners and customers, reinforcing market trust. The use of a professional CMS and modern frontend technologies supports scalability and maintainability. The company’s strategic focus on local Austrian solutions aligns with market demand for data sovereignty and compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity is low due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, which is a critical vulnerability. While some security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are set, the absence of TLS support and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid mitigation of security incidents. The presence of ISO 27001 certification indicates an established security management framework internally, but this is not fully reflected in the website’s technical security implementation. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent. Overall, the security posture requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Upgrade server configuration to support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3).
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve incident response transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and implement OCSP stapling and session resumption for performance and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Apache server, using modern frontend libraries such as Swiper.js for image sliders. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and language alternates. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to missing caching or optimization. The DNS configuration is consistent with the business domain and includes SPF records for email security. However, the lack of SSL/TLS support is a major technical risk. Analytics are implemented via Matomo with privacy-respecting settings, and cookie consent is managed by Cookiebot. The technical stack is modern but requires urgent security upgrades to meet industry standards.
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.
