The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, supported by structured data and social media channels, positioning Scout24Media as a key player in the Austrian real estate advertising market. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO, ensuring modern CMS capabilities and SEO optimization.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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"

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

Scout24Media benefits from its exclusive relationship with ImmoScout24, a leading real estate platform in Austria, enabling it to offer targeted advertising solutions to brands aiming to reach property seekers. The business model centers on digital advertising sales with a focus on data-driven targeting and campaign management. The company targets advertisers in real estate and related sectors such as insurance, energy, and telecommunications. The presence of testimonials and detailed advertising format descriptions indicates a mature service offering. Partnerships with entities like Techem Energy Services GmbH highlight strategic collaborations. The company is a part of the larger Scout24 SE group, indicating strong corporate backing and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from spam and abuse. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the web server configuration. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for typical business use but could enhance defenses against advanced threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It employs Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection and integrates tracking via Google Analytics and Tealium for marketing analytics and retargeting. The site uses minified CSS and JS assets, indicating performance optimization efforts, and WP Rocket for caching. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional digital marketing presence with moderate performance and SEO capabilities.
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.
