Security score

41/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Nationalpark Thayatal operates as a regional/national government-affiliated nature conservation and education entity in Austria. The website serves as an information and engagement platform for visitors, schools, and nature enthusiasts, offering educational materials, event information, and tourism services. The site is professionally designed with good content quality and accessibility features, supporting multiple languages and modern web technologies. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and privacy-conscious analytics (Matomo with cookies disabled), but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to NIC.AT restrictions, limiting domain trust assessment. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned for its non-profit conservation mission.

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. 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

  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
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 Nationalpark Thayatal website targets nature lovers, families, educational institutions, and tourists interested in sustainable nature experiences and environmental education. Its business model is non-profit and government-supported, focusing on conservation, education, and regional tourism promotion. The site integrates event booking via a partner domain and provides extensive educational content. The lack of WHOIS transparency is typical for NIC.AT domains but reduces external trust signals. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a clear market position within the Austrian environmental and tourism sectors.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and disables cookies in its Matomo analytics implementation, reflecting privacy awareness. However, no explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected, and no published security or incident response policies exist. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The absence of contact emails and phone numbers in the main content limits direct communication channels. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility by including verified company emails and phone numbers on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern HTML5 and CSS3, using Tailwind CSS for styling and JavaScript for interactivity. It integrates Matomo analytics with cookies disabled, indicating privacy-conscious tracking. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and focus outlines. Performance is moderate, with some large images and videos present. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected. The site structure and metadata support good SEO practices. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated by improving security headers and privacy mechanisms.
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.
