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

Ottakringer Getränke AG is a well-established Austrian family-owned beverage group comprising key subsidiaries such as Ottakringer Brauerei, Vöslauer Mineralwasser, and Del Fabro Kolarik. The company focuses on manufacturing and distributing beer, mineral water, and beverage wholesale products, targeting both B2B and B2C markets primarily in Austria and neighboring countries. The website content is professionally presented in German, emphasizing sustainability and quality. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with common web technologies like jQuery and Bootstrap, and it integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. However, the website suffers from a critical security shortfall due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no functional HTTPS, which significantly impacts its security posture. Security headers are partially implemented, and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, indicating reasonable privacy compliance. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity but requires urgent improvements in SSL configuration and security practices to enhance trust and protect user data.

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

      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 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

      • 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 company holds a strong market position as a leader in the Austrian beverage sector, particularly in mineral water. Its business model revolves around manufacturing and wholesale distribution with a focus on sustainable growth and brand expansion. The presence of multiple subsidiaries indicates a diversified portfolio within the beverage industry. The website reflects a consistent brand identity and clear business information, although direct contact details are not prominently displayed. The use of Google Analytics suggests moderate user tracking for marketing insights. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly linked, supporting a transparent ecosystem. Growth indicators include a focus on sustainability and innovation, aligning with modern consumer expectations.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate, which prevents secure HTTPS connections and exposes users to potential interception risks. While some security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-XSS-Protection are present, the absence of HSTS and modern TLS protocols reduces overall security effectiveness. The cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicate awareness of GDPR compliance, but no explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. The site uses secure cookie flags but could improve referrer policy settings. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with critical improvements needed in SSL/TLS deployment and security policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and protect user data.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with subdomain inclusion and preload to enforce secure connections.
  3. Update Referrer-Policy to a more secure setting such as 'strict-origin-when-cross-origin' to reduce data leakage.
  4. Publish explicit security policies including incident response and vulnerability disclosure to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all server software, CMS components, and third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Apache server with Joomla CMS, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap, and other common front-end libraries. DNS is managed via world4you.at, a reputable Austrian hosting provider. Performance metrics are not provided but inferred as slow due to zero load time and resource count data. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features including WCAG navigation options and font size adjustments. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and outdated TLS support represent significant technical debt and security risks. The site uses Google Analytics for tracking, integrated with a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires modernization and security hardening.
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.
