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

RIS GmbH is a well-established technology company specializing in digital solutions for municipalities and small to medium-sized enterprises primarily in Austria and neighboring regions. With over 20 years of experience, RIS GmbH offers a suite of products including GEM2GO municipal software, intranet solutions, consulting, streaming, and playout services. The company positions itself as an innovative and reliable partner for digital transformation in the public and business sectors. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting local governments and SMEs with clear service offerings and customer testimonials. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with a legacy jQuery stack, enhanced by modern UI components from Syncfusion and accessibility tools like Eye-Able. The presence of Matomo analytics and a cookie consent mechanism indicates a strong commitment to privacy compliance. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and form validation implemented, though some security headers could be improved and legacy libraries updated. Overall, RIS GmbH demonstrates a mature digital presence with room for modernization and enhanced security policies.

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

1 finding 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

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

RIS GmbH operates in the technology sector focusing on software solutions for municipalities and SMEs. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing regional presence and specialized product suite tailored to public sector needs. The business model revolves around software licensing, consulting, and digital services. The company targets over 1300 municipalities and numerous SMEs in Austria, South Tyrol, and Germany, indicating a strong regional footprint. Partnerships with GEM2GO product sites and use of proprietary CMS suggest a controlled ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation and a clear career section indicating expansion. The company maintains transparent contact channels and social media presence, enhancing customer engagement and trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. Use of Matomo analytics reflects privacy-conscious tracking. Form validation is implemented to reduce input risks. However, the use of outdated jQuery 1.7.2 presents potential vulnerabilities. Security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly present, representing an area for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from modernizing libraries and enhancing security headers and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current supported versions to reduce vulnerability exposure.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and site performance to improve user experience across devices.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET Web Forms with a custom or proprietary CMS (RIS CMS). It uses legacy jQuery 1.7.2 and jQuery UI 1.8.17, combined with Syncfusion EJ Web Controls for UI components. The site integrates Google Tag Manager and Matomo for analytics and tracking, alongside Eye-Able for accessibility enhancements. The site is moderately performant with basic mobile optimization and good SEO practices including meta tags and canonical links. The presence of cookie consent overlays and accessibility features indicates attention to compliance and usability. However, the legacy JavaScript stack and lack of some modern security headers suggest technical debt and opportunities for modernization.
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.
