34/100

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

querkraft.at is the website of an Austrian architecture and design firm showcasing a portfolio of projects including schools, residential buildings, museums, and pavilions. The firm targets clients interested in architectural and urban design services, primarily within Austria. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap and several JavaScript libraries, providing a professional and visually appealing presentation of their work. However, the site lacks critical security features such as HTTPS, which significantly impacts trust and security posture. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and contact information is not explicitly provided, limiting user engagement and compliance with data protection regulations. Overall, the website demonstrates good content quality and business relevance but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to meet modern standards.

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.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

Not assessed

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

Priority findings

3 findings 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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 · found on this site
  • 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 positions itself as a specialized architecture firm with a focus on public and private sector projects in Austria. Their business model revolves around project-based architectural services, supported by a portfolio of completed and ongoing projects. The firm maintains partnerships or references to related domains such as architecture-inprogress.at and museumliaunig.at, indicating active engagement in the architectural community. The absence of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site limits transparency but is consistent with a small-sized professional service firm. The website content and navigation are well-structured, targeting clients and stakeholders interested in architectural design and cultural projects.

Security posture

The website currently lacks HTTPS, serving content over unencrypted HTTP, which is a critical security vulnerability exposing users to interception and tampering risks. Security headers are minimal, with only basic protections like X-Content-Type-Options present. No advanced security mechanisms such as HSTS, CSP, or secure cookies are implemented. There is no evidence of incident response policies, vulnerability disclosure, or data protection officer contact information. The absence of privacy and cookie policies further indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires immediate remediation to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Add explicit contact information including company email and phone numbers to improve credibility and user trust.
  4. Enhance security headers by adding Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and enabling HSTS.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish security contact details to improve incident response readiness.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mature CMS platform (TYPO3) combined with Bootstrap 3 and various JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Hammer.js, PhotoSwipe, Isotope, and Lity for UI enhancements. The server runs Apache with PHP 8.4.7, indicating a modern backend environment. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and absence of performance metrics limit the assessment of technical robustness. The site appears mobile-optimized and accessible with basic SEO meta tags and language alternates. Hosting details are partially inferred from DNS records pointing to domaincontrol.com nameservers, but the exact hosting provider is not identified. Overall, the technical stack is solid but requires security upgrades and 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.
