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

The website www.steiermark.com serves as the official tourism portal for the Graz region and the broader Styrian area in Austria. It provides comprehensive information about local attractions, events, and travel opportunities, targeting tourists and visitors interested in exploring the region. The site is professionally designed with a clear focus on user experience, multilingual support (German and English), and regional branding consistent with the official tourism authority. The business model centers on destination marketing and promoting regional tourism services, positioning itself as a key player in Austria's hospitality sector. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Matomo for analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The use of Pimcore CMS suggests a robust content management system tailored for complex content needs. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, ensuring broad reach and usability. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts is noted as an area for improvement. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly impacts trust but is common for tourism entities. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance posture. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing security and incident response policies, and maintaining transparency in domain registration details to further boost trust and security assurance.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 site operates as a regional tourism marketing platform under Steiermark Tourismus GmbH, focusing on promoting Graz and the Styrian region. Its competitive advantage lies in official regional branding, comprehensive event and destination information, and multilingual content catering to international tourists. Revenue streams likely include partnerships with local businesses, event promotions, and possibly government funding. The target customer segments are leisure travelers, cultural tourists, and event attendees. Growth indicators include active content updates, integration of modern analytics, and GDPR-compliant consent management. The partnership ecosystem includes regional stakeholders and tourism boards. Operationally, the site demonstrates a professional approach to digital marketing and user engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, supporting GDPR compliance. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and readiness. The site does not show signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a tourism website but would benefit from enhanced header policies and published security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Conduct regular vulnerability assessments of third-party scripts and libraries.
  4. Maintain GDPR compliance with ongoing updates to privacy and cookie policies.
  5. Increase transparency in domain registration details if possible to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS platform (Pimcore) with a well-structured front-end using custom CSS and JavaScript. It leverages Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Cookiebot for consent management, indicating a mature approach to data privacy and user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times and resource optimization. The technical stack is appropriate for a regional tourism portal, balancing content richness with usability. No critical technical debt or risks were identified, but ongoing maintenance and security updates are recommended.
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.
