Die Schlösserstrasse - Verband für regionale Entwicklung · Hospitality · Austria

Partial score · DNS & email only

55/100

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

Die Schlösserstrasse is a regional development association focused on promoting cultural tourism and heritage sites, specifically castles and fortresses in Southeast Austria and Slovenia. The website serves as an information hub for tourists and cultural enthusiasts, offering event announcements, booking options, and educational content. The organization appears to have a solid market position within its niche, supported by regional tourism partners and a network of castles. Technically, the website uses basic web technologies such as jQuery and JavaScript, with moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is average, with no HTTPS or security headers information available from the provided data, and no cookie consent mechanism detected despite EU audience relevance. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and partner references suggest a legitimate operation. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved technical and security measures.

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

4 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.

    • 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.

    • 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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 business operates as a non-profit regional development entity promoting cultural heritage tourism. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive network of castles and historical sites across Austria and Slovenia, supported by partnerships with regional tourism boards and cultural institutions. Revenue streams likely include event hosting, tourism promotion, and possibly grants or public funding. The target customers are tourists, cultural event organizers, and regional stakeholders. Growth indicators include active event scheduling and digital content updates. The partnership ecosystem is broad, involving multiple regional and cultural organizations. Strategic observations suggest a need to enhance digital security and privacy compliance to maintain trust and meet regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate but incomplete. Key vulnerabilities include the absence of visible HTTPS enforcement and lack of security headers, which could expose users to man-in-the-middle attacks and clickjacking. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy, but the lack of cookie consent mechanisms is a gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The security culture appears minimal, with no explicit security or data protection officer contacts. Business impact of these gaps could include regulatory penalties and reputational damage if exploited.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection.
  4. Publish clear terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

Key observations

  1. Website is fully accessible with rich content about castles and cultural tourism in Austria and Slovenia.
  2. No WHOIS data available, which is unusual and warrants further domain registration verification.
  3. No cookie consent mechanism detected despite GDPR-relevant content and EU audience.
  4. No explicit security headers or policies found in HTML content.
  5. Contact information is clearly provided in footer with email and phone.
  6. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram is linked.
  7. No forms detected on the main page except newsletter subscription link.
  8. Website uses older charset ISO-8859-16, which is uncommon; UTF-8 recommended.
  9. No analytics or tracking scripts detected in provided HTML.
  10. No advertising or affiliate programs detected.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML structure with JavaScript and jQuery for interactivity. The charset ISO-8859-16 is unusual and may cause encoding issues; UTF-8 is recommended. The site loads external scripts from a partner domain (labelart.at), indicating third-party hosting or development support. Performance is moderate with no advanced optimization detected. Mobile optimization is basic, with viewport meta tag present but no advanced responsive design frameworks identified. SEO is basic with minimal meta descriptions and keywords. No CMS or modern frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or legacy build. Technical risks include outdated charset, lack of HTTPS confirmation, and missing security headers, which could impact user trust and search engine ranking.
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.
