Security score

40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.ogp-kongress.at serves as the official platform for the Austrian Society for Pneumology (ÖGP) and Thoracic Surgery (OGTC) annual congress scheduled for October 2025. It targets medical professionals specializing in pulmonology and thoracic surgery, providing event details, updates, and resources. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content relevance, supporting its role as a trusted information source for the medical community in Austria. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, enhanced with Yoast SEO and Borlabs Cookie for SEO and privacy compliance respectively. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics, with consent mechanisms in place. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent management, but lacks explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts. Security headers are not fully confirmed, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. WHOIS data aligns well with the website's organizational claims, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the site is a credible and professional resource for its niche audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy documentation and security disclosures to improve compliance and trustworthiness.

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

11 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

  2. 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319

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

The Austrian Society for Pneumology and Thoracic Surgery operates a medium-sized professional organization model focused on annual congress events. Its market position is well-established within the Austrian healthcare sector, targeting pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons. Revenue streams likely include event registrations and sponsorships. The website supports growth by providing timely event information and engaging the medical community. The use of professional CMS and SEO tools indicates a commitment to digital presence. However, the absence of detailed business contact information and privacy policies suggests room for operational transparency improvements. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms implemented via Borlabs Cookie. However, the lack of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps, especially under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. Security headers and vulnerability disclosures are not evident, which could expose the site to certain risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The integration of Google Tag Manager is consent-aware, reflecting some privacy-conscious practices. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but requires enhancements in policy transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet broader compliance and user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern WordPress CMS with the Avada theme, supported by Yoast SEO for search engine optimization and Borlabs Cookie for GDPR-compliant cookie management. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics with consent controls. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile responsiveness. However, some CSS and JavaScript resources are minified and cached, indicating optimization efforts. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of HTTPS and structured data indicates a professionally managed infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security header implementations to reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
