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

The website 'Clever einkaufen für die Schule' is an official Austrian government initiative managed by the Bundesministerium für Land- und Forstwirtschaft, Klima- und Umweltschutz, Regionen und Wasserwirtschaft (BMLUK). It aims to promote sustainable and environmentally friendly purchasing of school supplies by providing product lists, retailer information, educational materials, and campaign resources. The site targets schools, parents, retailers, and environmentally conscious consumers within Austria. The business model is informational and educational, backed by government authority, positioning it as a trusted source in the sustainability and education sectors. Technically, the website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Divi theme framework, with additional tools such as Matomo for analytics and accessibility plugins. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and a moderate performance profile. However, there is room for improvement in SEO and security headers implementation. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. It lacks visible security headers and does not provide a privacy or cookie policy, which are compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is present. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy-conscious tracking, but overall privacy compliance is basic. Overall, the website is legitimate, trustworthy, and professionally presented, but it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

Priority findings

4 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: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • 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
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email 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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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 · 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

The initiative is positioned as a government-backed program focused on sustainable school shopping in Austria. Its competitive advantage lies in official endorsement and comprehensive resources including product and retailer lists, educational materials, and campaign activities. The business model is non-commercial, aiming to influence consumer behavior and support environmental goals. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a government service. Target customers include schools, parents, and retailers. The partnership ecosystem includes related sites such as bueroeinkauf.at. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with consistent branding and clear messaging aligned with government sustainability objectives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks important security headers like Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no published privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. The use of Matomo analytics is a positive privacy indicator compared to more invasive trackers. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires improvements in policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and security culture.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and handling of security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with the Divi theme, ensuring flexibility and ease of content management. The inclusion of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good design quality and navigation clarity. However, SEO optimization is basic, and no advanced structured data or Open Graph metadata was detected in the provided content. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the use of a feature-rich theme and multiple CSS/JS assets. There is no explicit hosting provider information. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and privacy compliance require attention to modernize and secure the infrastructure further.
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.
