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

The Österreichischer Skiverband (Austrian Ski Federation) operates the website 'Ski Austria' as the national governing body for skiing and winter sports in Austria. The website serves as a comprehensive digital platform offering information about various skiing disciplines, events, athlete teams, membership services, and a merchandise shop. It targets skiing athletes, enthusiasts, members, and partners within Austria, positioning itself as a key authority in the winter sports sector. The business model is non-profit, focusing on promotion, organization, and support of skiing activities nationwide. Technically, the website is built on the Pimcore CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as Bootstrap for responsive design, Swiper.js for sliders, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and AccessiWay for accessibility enhancements. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, with a professional and consistent branding approach. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate covering multiple related domains. However, it lacks enabled TLS protocols and OCSP stapling, which are recommended for stronger security. Security headers are present but could be enhanced. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. Overall, the website presents a high-quality, trustworthy, and professional online presence for the Austrian Ski Federation. Strategic recommendations include upgrading TLS protocols, enabling OCSP stapling, and enhancing cipher suites to improve security posture further. Maintaining transparency in privacy and security policies will support ongoing trust and compliance.

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

7 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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 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';…

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 Österreichischer Skiverband holds a prominent market position as Austria's official ski federation, providing a broad range of services including event management, athlete support, and public information dissemination. Its partnerships with ticketing platforms, merchandise shops, and sponsors like Orthomol and Fischer Sports indicate a well-established ecosystem. The business model is focused on non-profit sports promotion, targeting athletes, clubs, and winter sports fans. The website's content and structure support engagement with members and the public, facilitating growth and visibility. The federation leverages social media channels extensively to connect with audiences and enhance brand presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a valid SSL certificate. However, the absence of enabled TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) and OCSP stapling reduces the robustness of the encryption and certificate validation processes. Security headers like HSTS are partially implemented but not fully enabled in SSL configuration. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, and forms appear secure. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting compliance. Incident response and security policy pages are not found, indicating room for improvement in formal security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure encrypted connections.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and performance.
  3. Fully enable and configure HSTS headers including preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Enhance cipher suite configuration to include only strong, secure ciphers.
  5. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS (Pimcore) with Bootstrap framework for responsive design and uses JavaScript libraries like Swiper.js for interactive elements. Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot are integrated for analytics and cookie management respectively. The site loads with moderate performance and is optimized for mobile devices. Accessibility is enhanced using the AccessiWay widget. The SSL certificate is valid but the lack of enabled TLS protocols and session resumption features indicates technical debt in security configuration. The site structure and metadata are well implemented, supporting SEO and social media integration.
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.
