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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  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

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

The SFG operates as an essential government-related entity in the economic development sector, providing a broad range of services including funding programs, personal consulting, and networking events. Their market position is strong within the Styrian region, leveraging partnerships and digital tools to enhance service delivery. The business model focuses on facilitating growth and innovation for regional companies, with a clear emphasis on sectors like energy and manufacturing. The website's content and structure support their strategic goals, offering detailed information and easy access to resources. Social media integration and event promotion indicate active engagement with their community and stakeholders.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and the use of cookie consent tools to comply with privacy regulations. Matomo analytics is configured to respect user consent, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact details suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. Security headers are assumed but not explicitly confirmed, and recommendations include publishing security policies and establishing vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers explicitly and verify their presence and configuration.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform enhanced with modern technologies such as Tailwind CSS for styling and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed through Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets. The use of Borlabs Cookie plugin ensures GDPR-compliant cookie management. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the infrastructure supports a professional and secure web presence. Opportunities exist to improve security transparency and incident readiness.
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.
