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

The Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund Österreichs Gruppe Linz is a well-established non-profit organization providing a wide range of emergency, social, and educational services primarily in Linz and the Upper Austria region. Their services include emergency medical transport, first aid training, social care such as mobile nursing and meal delivery, and community engagement through volunteer and civil service programs. The organization maintains a strong regional presence supported by sister and parent organizations across Austria. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and uses several plugins for GDPR compliance, galleries, and statistics tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, well-structured, and professionally designed, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Analytics and tracking are implemented with user consent mechanisms, ensuring privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent management, but lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration aligns well with the organization's identity, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong compliance and professionalism. Strategic improvements in security headers and incident response transparency could further enhance their security posture and trust.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Critical

      DNS Resolution Failed

      Unable to resolve domain A records

      What to do: Verify domain is properly configured and not expired

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  5. 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention samariterbund.at, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for samariterbund.at right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization operates in the non-profit sector focused on healthcare and social services. It holds a strong regional market position in Upper Austria with a broad service portfolio addressing emergency medical services, social care, and community support. Revenue streams likely include donations, memberships, and public funding. The target audience spans individuals needing emergency or social services, volunteers, and corporate or educational clients for training. The organization benefits from a network of sister and parent entities, enhancing its operational reach and brand recognition. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and ongoing community campaigns. The business model emphasizes community impact and volunteer involvement rather than commercial profit.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms in place. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a minor gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency but is common in non-profit contexts. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the organization's risk profile but could be improved by adopting additional security headers and publishing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update all plugins and WordPress core to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a WordPress CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It incorporates GDPR compliance plugins and analytics tools with user consent. The site loads moderately fast with good SEO and mobile optimization. There is some technical debt in the form of mixed Bootstrap versions (4 and 5) and multiple plugins that require maintenance. Hosting details are not explicit but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and consolidation of frameworks.
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.
