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

The website www.rappenloch.at serves as an official regional tourism portal for the Rappenlochschlucht and Alplochschlucht hiking areas in Dornbirn, Austria. It provides detailed information about hiking routes, local attractions, dining options, and visitor services, targeting families and hikers interested in exploring one of Central Europe's largest gorges. The site is positioned as a trusted local tourism resource with consistent branding and a clear focus on promoting natural and cultural heritage. Technically, the website is built on the TYPO3 CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive content. SEO is enhanced through the Yoast SEO extension for TYPO3, and accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels are implemented, resulting in good mobile optimization and user experience. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, it lacks important security headers and does not provide explicit security policies or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR-specific indicators. Contact information is available but limited to general tourism contacts. Overall, the website is a reliable and professional tourism portal with good content quality and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and transparency around terms of service and vulnerability disclosure would enhance trust and compliance posture.

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.

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

    • 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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 business operates in the hospitality and tourism sector, focusing on promoting natural attractions in Dornbirn, Austria. Its market position is regional, serving local and visiting tourists interested in hiking and outdoor activities. The business model centers on information dissemination and visitor engagement rather than direct commercial transactions. Key services include detailed hiking route information, local dining recommendations, and visitor support services. The company benefits from partnerships with local tourism authorities and maintains an active social media presence to engage its audience. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and enhancing visitor services through improved online tools and compliance with evolving privacy regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible incident response or security contact information, which limits the ability to handle security incidents effectively. GDPR compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy controls. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a regional tourism site but would benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a clear terms of service page to define user rights and responsibilities.
  4. Establish and display incident response contact information or a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance security transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy policies and technical controls to maintain compliance with evolving data protection laws.

Rappenloch Dornbirn
Description
Die in Dornbirn gelegenen Schluchten, die Rappenloch- und Alplochschlucht zählen zu den größten Schluchten Mitteleuropas. Über tausende von Jahren wurden sie vom fließenden Wasser der Dornbirner Ach in den harten Kalkstein gefräst. Heute führen abenteuerliche Stege durch sie hindurch und an außergewöhnlichen Felsformationen vorbei. Sie sind somit sehr gut erschlossen und durch sichere und gut beschilderte Wanderwege ein optimales Ausflugsziel für Familien und Wanderer.

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.
