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

Psychosoziale Dienste in Wien is a well-established non-profit healthcare organization providing psychosocial services and psychiatric care in Vienna, Austria. The website clearly targets individuals seeking mental health support and related services, offering comprehensive information about their treatment options, projects, and contact points. The organization positions itself as a trusted regional healthcare provider with a focus on accessibility and community support. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap and FontAwesome, and integrates Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, reflecting a mature digital presence. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and secure forms but lacks visible advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced compliance and protection. The absence of WHOIS data due to quota limits suggests privacy protection, which is reasonable for this type of organization. Overall, the website demonstrates a strong business credibility and trustworthy online presence with room for minor improvements in privacy and security practices.

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

6 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

    • 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

  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"

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 organization operates in the healthcare and government/non-profit sectors, focusing on mental health services in Vienna. Its business model revolves around providing psychosocial support, psychiatric treatment, and crisis intervention. The website indicates active engagement in community projects and partnerships with related social service organizations. The target audience includes individuals with mental health needs, families, and healthcare professionals in Vienna. The presence of career and compliance pages suggests organizational transparency and growth orientation. The partnership ecosystem includes related social service domains such as suchthilfe.wien and sdw.wien, enhancing service reach and collaboration. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized organization with a stable market position in regional healthcare services.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and secure form handling. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and security policy pages are gaps in compliance with GDPR and best practices. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with clear opportunities for strengthening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy and hosting a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities or outdated components are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons, ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. The integration of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking solutions. The site loads multiple JavaScript bundles and uses SVG for logos and graphics, contributing to a visually consistent and performant user experience. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected, and performance is moderate, suggesting potential for optimization. The site structure and metadata are well-formed, supporting SEO and accessibility standards. Technical risks are low but could be further mitigated by implementing security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
