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

The Österreichische Gesundheitskasse (ÖGK) operates as a major public healthcare insurance provider in Austria, offering a broad range of health-related services to insured individuals, employers, and partners. The website serves as an information and service portal, providing access to appointment scheduling, customer service, health information, and career opportunities. The target audience primarily includes Austrian residents and healthcare stakeholders. The organization holds a strong market position as a government-affiliated entity with consistent branding and trust indicators such as official social media presence and comprehensive privacy policies. Technically, the website is built on a custom CMS likely based on Gentics Content Server, utilizing Jakarta Faces (JSF) framework and jQuery 3.6.0. It integrates Piwik PRO for analytics and employs a detailed Content Security Policy. However, the site currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS, which significantly impacts its security posture. Performance data is limited but suggests slower load times. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are well implemented. From a security perspective, the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a critical vulnerability. While security headers like CSP and HSTS are present, the lack of a valid certificate and secure transport reduces overall security. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and business credibility but requires urgent improvements in SSL/TLS implementation to enhance security and user trust. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL certificate deployment, enabling modern TLS protocols, and enhancing security header configurations to protect user data and comply with best practices.

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. 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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

ÖGK is positioned as a key public healthcare insurer in Austria, serving a large insured population and collaborating with multiple social insurance and healthcare partners. Its business model focuses on public service delivery, health insurance administration, and customer support. The organization leverages partnerships with related social insurance entities and maintains a digital presence through service portals and social media. Revenue streams are primarily from public funding and insurance contributions. The website content and linked domains reflect a mature partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active communication channels and digital service offerings. Strategic observations highlight the need for technical modernization to maintain competitive and secure service delivery.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low due to the absence of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The presence of a comprehensive Content Security Policy and HttpOnly, Secure cookie flags are positive indicators. However, the lack of TLS protocol support, OCSP stapling, and session resumption mechanisms limits security effectiveness. No visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies reduce transparency and preparedness. GDPR compliance is well addressed through privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears cautious but requires technical upgrades to meet modern standards and reduce business risk.

Recommendations

  1. Deploy and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to secure data in transit.
  3. Enhance HSTS policy by including subdomains and submitting for preload to strengthen transport security.
  4. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to improve transparency and security posture.

Notes

The website infrastructure is based on Apache server hosting a custom CMS, likely Gentics Content Server, with Jakarta Faces (JSF) framework and jQuery 3.6.0 for frontend interactivity. The site uses Slick Carousel for UI elements and integrates Piwik PRO for analytics and tag management. Despite a well-structured and accessible design, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a significant technical debt. Performance metrics are unavailable but inferred to be slow. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and accessibility features. Hosting appears to be Austrian-based, aligning with the business location. Modernization efforts should prioritize security upgrades and performance optimization.
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.
