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

Research Industrial Systems Engineering (RISE) is a well-established independent IT service provider and system integrator based in Austria, with a strong European presence and multiple offices across Europe. The company specializes in planning and implementing large-scale IT systems, offering a broad range of engineering, operational, and research services. Their key markets include energy, transportation, banking, healthcare, telecommunications, and government sectors. RISE emphasizes 100% European value creation and maintains a large team of highly qualified technical experts. Technically, the website uses modern frameworks and libraries such as Bootstrap, jQuery, GSAP, Swiper, and Lottie Player, and employs Matomo for analytics, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security flaw that undermines the overall security posture. Security headers are present but cannot compensate for the lack of encryption. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent improvements in security to protect users and data.

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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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. 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

  3. 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 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

RISE holds a strong market position as a leading European IT service provider with a focus on large-scale system engineering and digital transformation. Their business model combines service provision with product manufacturing, particularly in secure IT infrastructure and healthcare IT solutions like electronic patient records. The company targets enterprise and government clients, leveraging decades of experience and a broad partner network. Their extensive client list and references demonstrate credibility and market penetration. The company’s emphasis on compliance and certifications supports trustworthiness. Growth indicators include active research collaborations and international expansion. The website content and structure reflect a mature organization with a clear strategic focus on innovation and security.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability exposing users to data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While several security headers are implemented, including HSTS (though not enabled), X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection, these measures are insufficient without proper encryption. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms also raises privacy compliance concerns. Overall, the security maturity level is low, and immediate remediation is necessary to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload flags to enforce secure connections.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers, enable OCSP stapling, and configure secure cipher suites.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, GSAP for animations, Swiper for sliders, and Lottie Player for vector animations. The CMS appears to be Grav, inferred from URL and theme structure. Performance metrics indicate slow loading or missing data, suggesting potential optimization opportunities. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and structured navigation. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The absence of SSL/TLS is a major technical risk. The website is mobile optimized and professionally designed, but technical debt exists in security configuration and performance optimization.
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.
