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

The website www.ordensgemeinschaften.at represents the Österreichische Ordenskonferenz, a non-profit organization serving as the central representative body for 191 religious orders in Austria. The site provides comprehensive information about these orders, their social, educational, and cultural activities, targeting the general public interested in religious and spiritual matters. The organization positions itself as a key advocate and information hub for religious communities in Austria. Technically, the website is built on the siteswift-CMS platform and employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, and Matomo analytics. It features a responsive design optimized for mobile devices and includes a robust cookie consent mechanism via Klaro. The site demonstrates good SEO practices and accessibility features, although some improvements could be made. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements CSRF protection on forms, and includes standard security headers. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR-aligned consent management. However, the site lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and terms of service. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and aligned with its non-profit mission. Strategic recommendations include publishing security and incident response policies, enhancing accessibility, and providing clearer direct contact information to improve user 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

5 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

  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
  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Österreichische Ordenskonferenz operates as a medium-sized non-profit entity focused on representing religious orders in Austria. Its market position is central within the religious and social sectors, providing advocacy, education, and cultural preservation. The business model revolves around community engagement, information dissemination, and support services rather than commercial revenue streams. The organization maintains active social media channels and a well-structured website to reach diverse audiences. Growth indicators include active content updates, podcasts, and event information. Partnerships appear to be primarily within religious and educational domains, with no commercial subsidiaries or related domains detected.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers in place. Forms are protected with CSRF tokens and anti-bot mechanisms, reducing risk of common web attacks. The presence of a consent management platform indicates attention to privacy and regulatory compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure process suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is strong for a non-profit informational site but could benefit from enhanced documentation and user-facing security assurances.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve usability for all users.
  4. Provide explicit direct contact information such as official emails and phone numbers for support and inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the siteswift-CMS platform, leveraging a combination of jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries like Swiper.js for UI components and CountUp.js for animated counters. The use of Klaro for cookie consent demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and supports responsive design for mobile devices. While performance is moderate, there is potential for optimization by reducing script sizes and leveraging caching. The technical infrastructure appears stable and well-maintained, with no signs of deprecated or vulnerable technologies. The site uses standard meta tags and Open Graph data for SEO and social sharing.
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.
