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

ÖAMTC is a large, well-established Austrian automobile and touring club serving over 2 million members. The organization provides a wide range of services including roadside assistance, insurance, travel planning, and member benefits. The website reflects a strong brand presence with comprehensive content and multimedia offerings targeting motorists and travelers in Austria. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as nginx, RequireJS, JW Player, and integrates with multiple third-party services for analytics and advertising. However, a critical security issue is the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with a consent management platform in place. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent remediation of its SSL configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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. 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"

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 ÖAMTC operates as a membership-based non-profit organization focused on transportation and travel services within Austria. It holds a leading market position with a large member base and offers key services such as technical vehicle inspections, insurance products, and travel-related offerings. The business model relies on membership fees and partnerships with service providers. The website ecosystem includes partnerships with A1 Telekom Austria AG for hosting and Retarus for mail services. The organization maintains a strong digital presence with active social media channels and multimedia content to engage its audience. Growth indicators include continuous modernization efforts and expansion of member benefits. Strategic partnerships and a comprehensive service portfolio position ÖAMTC as a dominant player in the Austrian automotive and travel sectors.

Security posture

The current security posture shows implementation of several best practices including Content Security Policy, HSTS headers, and XSS protection headers. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support are critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, indicating a gap in transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, while some security headers are properly configured, the fundamental HTTPS security is missing, which severely undermines user trust and data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Review and enforce HSTS policy to ensure strict transport security is active and effective.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on nginx with Varnish caching and uses a custom CMS indicated by spunq-assets. It leverages RequireJS for modular JavaScript loading and integrates JW Player for video content. Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics CMP are used for analytics and consent management respectively. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting and DNS are managed by A1 Telekom Austria AG, consistent with the domain registrar. The lack of valid SSL is a major technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure is modern but requires SSL remediation and potential improvements in caching and session management for enhanced performance and security.
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.
