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

The website pg-gewinnspiel.at is a promotional contest platform primarily targeting users in Austria, as indicated by the German language and locale settings. The site appears to be focused on marketing sweepstakes or giveaways, likely as part of a broader promotional campaign. The business model revolves around engaging users through contests, but no detailed company or business information is publicly available on the site. The website's content quality is basic, with limited textual content and no visible privacy or terms of service pages, which impacts user trust and compliance transparency. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including JavaScript modules, CSS, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. HTTPS is enabled, ensuring secure communication, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to protect forms from abuse. However, the absence of security headers and limited accessibility features suggest room for improvement in technical implementation and security hardening. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates moderate maturity with HTTPS and consent mechanisms in place, but lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and comprehensive privacy documentation. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common for marketing sites but reduces transparency. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no suspicious or malicious content was found. Overall, the site is safe for general audiences but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security practices. The overall risk assessment indicates a moderate risk profile primarily due to missing compliance documentation and contact information. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear privacy and terms of service pages, implementing security headers, providing contact details for security incidents, and enhancing accessibility and SEO features to improve trust and user experience.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…
  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 website operates in the promotional marketing sector, focusing on online contests and sweepstakes aimed at Austrian consumers. Its business model likely involves lead generation or brand engagement through contest participation. The lack of detailed company information and contact data limits insights into revenue streams or partnerships. The site uses standard marketing tools such as Google Analytics and OneTrust, indicating integration with common digital marketing ecosystems. Growth indicators or market positioning are not discernible from the available data. The absence of certifications or trust badges suggests a small-scale operation or a campaign-specific site rather than a large enterprise. The site’s partnership ecosystem is not evident, and no related or subsidiary domains were identified.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and Google reCAPTCHA is used to mitigate automated abuse. The presence of a cookie consent overlay indicates awareness of GDPR compliance requirements. However, the site lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are important for protecting against common web attacks. No explicit vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of visible incident response contacts or security policies is a compliance gap. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified but reduces transparency. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but requires improvements to reach a higher security maturity level.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including dedicated security incident response email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript modules and CSS assets. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and performance monitoring. The OneTrust consent overlay manages cookie consent, supporting GDPR compliance. The site is served over HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Mobile optimization is good based on viewport meta tags and responsive design cues. SEO optimization is basic, with a simple title tag and minimal metadata. Accessibility features are limited, and no ARIA roles or landmarks were identified. The technical infrastructure is adequate for a small promotional site but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
