Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

DIRECT MIND GmbH operates a website cms.sicher-helfen.org which appears to be a content management system or informational site related to their business. The company is based in Vienna, Austria, and provides technology or digital services. The website is built on WordPress with common JavaScript libraries but lacks advanced SEO and security features. Contact information and legal disclosures are clearly presented, including a data protection officer, which indicates some compliance awareness. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies and missing WHOIS data reduce trust and compliance posture. Security headers are not implemented, and no forms or analytics are present, suggesting limited user interaction and tracking. Overall, the site is functional but basic in content and security maturity.

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

9 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
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL 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 SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

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 · 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 company positions itself as a small technology or digital services provider in Austria. The website serves primarily as a corporate informational portal with legal disclosures and contact details. There is no evidence of e-commerce or extensive customer engagement features. The business model likely revolves around service provision or consultancy. The lack of marketing or analytics tools suggests a low focus on digital marketing or user data collection. The presence of a data protection officer and detailed Impressum aligns with Austrian and EU regulatory requirements. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated on the site.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, which is a compliance gap under GDPR. The WHOIS data is unavailable, limiting domain trust verification. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The site does not appear to collect user data via forms, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. Overall, the security posture is basic and would benefit from enhanced headers, documented policies, and WHOIS transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Obtain and publish WHOIS data or ensure domain registration transparency to improve trust.
  4. Consider adding vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Enhance SEO and accessibility features to improve website reach and usability.

Key observations

  1. Website is a WordPress CMS with minimal content and no visible privacy or cookie policies.
  2. Contact information is clearly provided in Impressum with company details and data protection officer.
  3. No forms or user input fields detected on the homepage.
  4. No social media links found.
  5. No security headers detected; HTTPS is enabled but no advanced security configurations.
  6. WHOIS data is unavailable or blocked, limiting domain trust analysis.
  7. No advertising or analytics scripts detected beyond basic WordPress and UI libraries.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using jQuery and several UI libraries like SweetAlert2 and Fancybox. The HTML is valid and includes meta tags but lacks descriptive titles and descriptions. The site is mobile responsive with viewport settings and basic CSS styling. Performance is moderate with no heavy scripts detected. No analytics or tracking scripts are present, indicating minimal data collection. The site does not use advanced frameworks or hosting provider information is not disclosed. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in SEO, security headers, and content richness.
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.
