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

NTS is a well-established IT services and solutions provider based in Austria, specializing in network infrastructure, security, data center, collaboration, cloud services, and artificial intelligence platforms. The company targets businesses and organizations seeking comprehensive digital transformation and managed services. Their market position is strong regionally with a broad portfolio of key services and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and tracking tools, but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols. Security headers are well implemented, but the absence of HTTPS significantly undermines the security posture. Privacy compliance is robust with clear cookie and privacy policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich, but the lack of HTTPS is a critical risk that must be addressed immediately.

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

8 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

NTS operates in the technology and telecommunications sectors, providing managed IT services, cloud solutions, and AI platforms. Their business model focuses on delivering end-to-end IT strategies and services to enterprise clients across multiple industries including energy, manufacturing, and banking. The company leverages partnerships with major technology providers and maintains an active presence through events, webinars, and success stories. Revenue streams likely include managed services contracts, cloud subscriptions, and consulting. The target customer segments are medium to large enterprises seeking digital transformation. The company demonstrates growth and maturity with a large team and multiple locations. Their marketing ecosystem includes extensive use of analytics and tracking tools to optimize user engagement and lead generation.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but compromised by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which are critical vulnerabilities exposing users to data interception risks. The website implements strong security headers and a comprehensive Content Security Policy, which mitigates some risks. However, the lack of HTTPS and OCSP stapling, along with malformed CAA DNS records, indicate gaps in security best practices. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security culture appears aware but requires urgent improvements in encryption and certificate management to protect business and customer data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher and disable all insecure protocols to ensure encrypted communications.
  3. Correct and properly configure CAA DNS records to restrict certificate authorities and prevent unauthorized issuance.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  6. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  7. Regularly audit and update the Content Security Policy to minimize use of unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval directives.
  8. Consider adding visible company contact emails for security and support inquiries.
  9. Maintain and monitor cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing privacy compliance.
  10. Enhance website performance optimizations to improve load times and user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.6.2 with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, jQuery, Alpine.js, Swiper.js, and various marketing and analytics tools such as Hotjar, Google Analytics, and Borlabs Cookie for consent management. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Hosting appears to be on Apache with DNS managed by Google Cloud DNS. Performance metrics are not provided but inferred as slow due to zero load time/resource count data. The site uses multiple external domains for scripts, fonts, and tracking. Technical debt is moderate with outdated SSL configuration and missing HTTPS. Modernization opportunities include upgrading SSL/TLS, improving DNS security records, and optimizing resource loading. Technical risks include potential data interception and user trust erosion due to missing HTTPS and certificate issues.
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.
