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

The Austrian Society for Environment and Technology (ÖGUT) is a well-established non-profit organization based in Austria, focusing on sustainable development, environmental protection, and technology. Their website highlights various projects and initiatives related to sustainable finance, energy, biodiversity, mobility, and circular economy, targeting professionals, companies, and institutions interested in sustainability. The organization provides consulting, training, and networking services to promote sustainable practices. Technically, the website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate to good level of digital maturity. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with clear navigation and professional design. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and includes security tokens in forms, but lacks visible security headers and published security policies, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is partial, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, though the use of Matomo suggests some privacy-conscious analytics. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with a strong business credibility score but room for improvement in security and privacy transparency.

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • 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

ÖGUT occupies a niche in the Austrian sustainability and environmental sector, leveraging its non-profit status to engage with financial advisors, policymakers, companies, and educational institutions. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized knowledge and project portfolio in sustainable finance and energy transition. The business model focuses on consulting, project management, training, and stakeholder networking rather than direct commercial sales. Revenue streams likely include project funding, training fees, and memberships. The organization maintains an active partnership ecosystem visible through social media and project collaborations. Growth indicators include ongoing new projects and active initiatives. Strategic observations suggest that enhancing transparency around privacy and security policies could strengthen stakeholder trust and compliance posture.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of security tokens in forms. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. The organization should consider publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers to improve resilience and compliance with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Develop and disclose an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy, including security contact channels.
  4. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern JavaScript-based front-end stack with jQuery, Slick Carousel for slideshows, and Fancybox for modals. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-friendly user tracking. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, as no common CMS signatures were detected. Performance is moderate with responsive design and good accessibility features. The site uses HTTPS consistently, but lacks advanced security headers. There is an opportunity to modernize by adopting newer frameworks or CMS platforms and improving security configurations. The newsletter subscription form integrates with an external service (respond.marmara.at), indicating third-party dependencies for marketing automation.
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.
