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

Österreichischer Raiffeisenverband is a key financial cooperative association in Austria, representing Raiffeisen banks and providing banking-related services to its members. The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is well-structured with good design and mobile optimization, targeting financial institutions and customers in Austria. However, the website lacks visible privacy, cookie, and security policies, which impacts its compliance and security posture. No contact information or incident response details are publicly available, which could hinder user trust and regulatory compliance. The domain registration is consistent with the business location and sector, registered through a reputable Austrian registrar, supporting the legitimacy of the site.

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

  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 Raiffeisenverband operates in the finance sector as a cooperative banking association, focusing on member support and banking services. Its market position is important nationally within Austria. The business model revolves around cooperative banking, with key services including representation and coordination of member banks. The website content is relevant and professional, but lacks detailed business contact information and certifications. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the website content. The site targets Austrian financial institutions and customers, with a medium-sized organizational footprint.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level due to the absence of security headers, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and incident response policies. SSL/TLS usage is assumed but not explicitly verified in the provided data. No exposed vulnerabilities or sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The site would benefit from implementing security best practices such as security headers, a security.txt file, and public incident response contacts to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, including a security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update SSL/TLS configurations to maintain excellent security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It employs Plyr for video playback and Glider.js for carousels, enhancing user experience. Hosting is provided by World4You Internet Services GmbH, a reputable Austrian hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is good due to Yoast SEO usage. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Technical debt appears low but security-related technical improvements are needed.
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.
