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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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.

    • 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

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 site represents a large healthcare entity focused on palliative care coordination in Steiermark, Austria. It operates as a service and information hub under the umbrella of the regional hospital company KAGes. The business model is service-oriented, supporting patients and healthcare providers with information, coordination, and education. The presence of social media channels and regular news updates indicates active engagement and transparency. The domain registration matches the organizational identity, reinforcing legitimacy. No commercial advertising or affiliate programs are detected, consistent with a non-profit healthcare service. The site’s ecosystem includes partnerships with regional hospitals and healthcare providers, enhancing its market position as a trusted regional healthcare resource.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner with opt-in/out options, reflecting good privacy and security awareness. Matomo analytics is used, which is privacy-friendly compared to other analytics platforms. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) is a minor gap. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid for a public healthcare information site but could benefit from additional security headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure compliance and minimize tracking.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used open-source content management system. It uses Matomo analytics for user tracking, which respects privacy better than many alternatives. The site loads external resources such as Google Maps and DataReporter cookie consent scripts. The HTML is well-structured with meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Performance is moderate with responsive design and lazy loading of images. The site uses modern JavaScript loading techniques (loadjs) and asynchronous script loading for better performance. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly stated but the domain and WHOIS data indicate a stable and legitimate hosting environment.
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.
