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

Posthotel Achenkirch GmbH operates a premium 5-star adults-only hotel located in Tirol, Austria, specializing in wellness, gourmet dining, and active holidays. The website presents a rich, multilingual content experience with clear business information and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, uses modern JavaScript practices, and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Usercentrics for cookie consent. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and HTTPS support, exposing visitors to potential risks. The site implements basic security headers but lacks advanced protections like HSTS and OCSP stapling. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the business is credible and well-positioned in the hospitality market, but urgent security improvements are needed to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

7 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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 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';…

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 hotel targets discerning adult travelers seeking luxury wellness and gourmet experiences in the Austrian Alps. Its business model focuses on premium hospitality services including spa treatments, fine dining with TCM influences, and active leisure activities such as golf, tennis, and hiking. The company leverages partnerships with technology providers for booking and guest management, enhancing operational efficiency. The website's content and structured data reflect a mature digital presence with strong customer engagement through social media and review platforms. The absence of terms of service and incident response information suggests areas for business process enhancement. The hotel’s sustainability focus and long history (over 100 years) contribute to its competitive advantage in the regional market.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical vulnerability for any website handling user data or bookings. Minimal security headers are present, but important protections such as HSTS, CSP, and secure cookie flags are missing. No evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies is found, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The use of Usercentrics for cookie consent shows awareness of privacy regulations, but the overall security framework needs significant enhancement to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements like GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Establish and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, hosted on an nginx server with Plesk Linux management. It uses deferred JavaScript loading and integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics. The site is multilingual with hreflang tags for German, Italian, and English. Performance metrics are missing, suggesting a need for monitoring and optimization. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and preloading of fonts and images. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and structured JSON-LD data. The lack of HTTPS is a major technical risk that undermines user trust and data security.
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.
