61/100

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

Pittel+Brausewetter Holding GmbH is a well-established Austrian family-owned construction company with over 150 years of experience. They specialize in a broad range of construction services including road, civil, industrial, structural, bridge, and sports facility construction. The company maintains a strong market position with multiple reference projects and a consistent brand presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using common plugins and themes, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. However, a critical security weakness is the lack of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which significantly impacts the security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-compliant policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Contact information and social media presence are clearly provided, enhancing business credibility.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 operates in the construction and infrastructure sector, targeting clients requiring specialized construction services in Austria. Their business model focuses on diversified construction projects, supported by a strong portfolio of reference projects and awards. The partnership with a dedicated job application portal indicates a structured HR approach. The website content and structure support professional communication with clients and stakeholders. The company appears to have a stable market presence with no suspicious domain registration patterns, reinforcing legitimacy.

Security posture

The security posture is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential risks. While security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and CSP are implemented, the lack of HTTPS undermines these protections. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are publicly available, and email security could be improved by adding DMARC records. The website uses secure cookies with HttpOnly flags, but session resumption and OCSP stapling are not enabled. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to improve security.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance security and performance.
  4. Add DMARC DNS records to improve email authentication and reduce spoofing risks.
  5. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Apache with DNS managed by domaintechnik.at. It uses WordPress CMS with the GeneratePress theme and Smart Slider 3 plugin for interactive content. External resources include FontAwesome and Google Fonts. Performance metrics are moderate with no explicit load time data. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and accessible navigation. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical debt is moderate, with the main risk being the lack of SSL/TLS security. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security protocols and improving performance monitoring.
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.
