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

Roland Gareis Consulting GmbH is a well-established Austrian consulting and training company specializing in project, process, and change management. With over 30 years of experience, the company offers a range of services including professional training seminars, consulting engagements, and events targeted at project managers and business professionals. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear business information and active social media channels. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with WooCommerce and uses common plugins for multilingual support and page building. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security shortfall that undermines user trust and data protection. The site lacks advanced security headers and incident response information, indicating room for improvement in security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security enhancements to meet modern standards.

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

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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 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 company operates in the education and consulting sectors, focusing on project management training and business consulting. Its business model relies on delivering paid seminars, training courses, and consulting services, supported by an e-commerce platform for registrations. The target audience includes project managers and organizations seeking to improve project and change management capabilities. The firm maintains partnerships with recognized organizations and software providers, enhancing its market credibility. The website content and structure support a clear value proposition and demonstrate a mature market presence. Growth potential exists through digital channels and event offerings. The company maintains transparency with contact details and legal information, reinforcing business credibility.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The absence of HSTS and other security headers further reduces protection against common web attacks. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, and no security contact channels are provided. While no critical vulnerabilities like subdomain takeover or known SSL exploits are detected, the missing encryption is a significant risk. Privacy compliance is adequate, but security best practices need urgent implementation to safeguard user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Acquire and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly update and audit WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance performance monitoring and optimization to improve load times and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and WPBakery for page building. It integrates multilingual support via WPML and uses jQuery and other common JavaScript libraries. Hosting is provided by Hetzner Online GmbH, a reputable provider. Performance data is missing or zero, suggesting a need for better monitoring or optimization. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a critical technical deficiency. The site uses several third-party scripts including LinkedIn Insight for analytics and tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard but requires security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
