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. 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. 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  4. 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

Partytimer.at occupies a niche position as a local event aggregator in Vienna, leveraging the brand strength of Falter Verlagsgesellschaft m.b.H. Its competitive advantage lies in curated, up-to-date event listings and integration with local media. The business model likely relies on advertising revenue and partnerships with event organizers. The target customers are nightlife enthusiasts and residents seeking current party information. The platform shows growth potential through digital engagement and partnerships. The ecosystem includes ad networks and consent management providers, indicating a mature marketing approach. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance user engagement by adding direct contact options and expanding compliance documentation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present. The use of a consent management platform (Didomi) indicates awareness of privacy and data protection regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in comprehensive security governance. These gaps could impact incident handling and user trust in case of security events. Overall, the site is secure for typical user interactions but would benefit from formalizing security policies and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  3. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Create a terms of service page to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Enhance contact information availability to improve user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Laravel Livewire for reactive components, Alpine.js for frontend interactivity, and Didomi for consent management. Google Tag Manager and Adition scripts are used for analytics and advertising. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with preloading and module preloading techniques employed. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting details are not explicit but likely managed by Falter or associated providers. Technical risks are low, but continuous monitoring for library vulnerabilities and performance optimization is advised.
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.
