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

SchloR is a self-managed non-profit community project based in Vienna-Simmering, Austria, focused on providing solidarity-based housing and creative workspaces. The organization operates under the umbrella of recognized entities such as habiTAT and Mietshäuser-Syndikat, emphasizing collective living and cultural engagement. Their business model includes direct loans from supporters to finance their projects, reflecting a strong community trust and engagement. The website is well-structured, content-rich, and targets local community members interested in alternative housing and cultural activities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using modern plugins like Elementor and Yoast SEO, ensuring good SEO and mobile responsiveness. The presence of Google reCAPTCHA on forms enhances security against automated abuse. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers are not implemented, which could be improved to strengthen the security posture. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, indicating a legitimate and controlled domain. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site content is fully accessible. Privacy compliance is adequate with a privacy policy present, though cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found, which could be areas for future enhancement. Overall, SchloR presents a trustworthy, community-oriented project with a solid web presence and moderate technical maturity. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and vulnerability disclosure would enhance their security and compliance posture further.

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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to SMB using firewall or VPN

  2. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

SchloR occupies a niche position in the non-profit sector focused on solidarity housing and creative community spaces in Vienna. Their competitive advantage lies in their affiliation with established umbrella organizations and a successful direct loan financing model that fosters community trust. Revenue streams are primarily non-profit and community-funded, with key customer segments including local residents, artists, and cultural participants. The partnership ecosystem includes habiTAT, Mietshäuser-Syndikat, and TRAP, which supports their operational and cultural activities. Growth indicators include successful fundraising campaigns and active event calendars. The organization maintains a transparent and engaged online presence, supporting its mission and community outreach effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. The domain is secured with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy indicates limited formal incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a non-profit community website but could benefit from implementing additional security best practices and formalizing incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It leverages jQuery and Google reCAPTCHA for enhanced user interaction and security. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility features. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified beyond the domain registrar RegistryGate GmbH. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance tuning to reduce technical debt and improve user experience.
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.
