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

SEQIS GmbH is a specialized IT service provider based in Austria, focusing on software testing, IT analysis, and project management. The company offers a broad range of services including remote testing, DevOps, training, and quality assurance, targeting businesses seeking to improve their software quality and IT project outcomes. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and well-structured, primarily in German, with clear navigation and active social media engagement. Technically, the website runs on a PHP 8.2.28 backend with nginx and uses the Contao CMS along with Bootstrap and jQuery for frontend functionality. Despite a modern tech stack, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical security shortfall. Performance data is missing, but the site appears mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS, no DNSSEC, and no CAA records, although several security headers are present. Privacy compliance is good with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent via Cookiebot. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. WHOIS data confirms domain legitimacy and consistency with the business location. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements, especially SSL/TLS implementation, to enhance trust and protect user data.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

  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
      • 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

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

SEQIS operates in the technology sector as a small-sized company offering IT quality assurance and consulting services. Its market positioning is that of a niche provider with a focus on customized solutions and quality. The business model revolves around service delivery in software testing, IT analysis, and project management. The company targets organizations needing expert IT testing and management services, leveraging partnerships with notable clients and maintaining an active online presence. Growth potential is supported by diversified service offerings including remote testing and training workshops. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized Austrian companies, enhancing credibility. The website supports business intelligence by showcasing references, partner logos, and social media channels, indicating a transparent and engaged business approach. However, the lack of visible certifications or security policies may limit trust among more security-conscious clients.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability. Although several security headers are implemented (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection, HSTS header present but not effective due to no SSL), the lack of TLS protocols and strong cipher suites severely undermines transport security. DNSSEC and CAA records are not configured, reducing domain security against spoofing and unauthorized certificate issuance. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found, indicating limited transparency in security management. The site uses Cookiebot for cookie consent, supporting GDPR compliance, but overall security maturity is low. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and domain security configurations is recommended to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites to secure data in transit.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance domain security and prevent certificate mis-issuance.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern PHP 8.2.28 backend with nginx web server and uses the Contao Open Source CMS. Frontend technologies include jQuery, Bootstrap 4.0.0, and FontAwesome for icons. The site loads multiple external scripts for cookie consent (Cookiebot), analytics (Google Tag Manager), marketing (Pipedrive Web Forms, LeadConnectorHQ chat widget), and newsletter management (Rapidmail). Performance data is missing, but the site includes responsive design elements and mobile menu scripts, indicating mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA landmarks and semantic HTML elements. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured JSON-LD data for breadcrumbs and images. Hosting appears to be on a Plesk Linux environment. However, the lack of SSL/TLS and modern security protocols is a significant technical risk. The site would benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
