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

SIWA Online GmbH is a medium-sized Austrian digital agency specializing in web, app, and e-commerce solutions. The company emphasizes consulting, design, development, and ongoing support services, positioning itself as a trusted partner with ISO 27001 certification. Their market presence is supported by multiple client testimonials and a professional online presence. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and hosted on AWS CloudFront, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which undermines secure communications. The site implements strong security headers and content policies but lacks full TLS protocol support and HSTS enforcement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the business demonstrates strong credibility and professionalism but must urgently address SSL/TLS issues to improve security posture and trust.

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.

Business context

Business profile

SIWA Online GmbH operates in the technology sector, targeting businesses seeking digital transformation and e-commerce solutions. Their business model focuses on delivering end-to-end digital services including consulting, UX design, technical implementation, and support. The company leverages certifications like ISO 27001 to differentiate itself and build trust. Their client base spans various industries, supported by case studies and references. The company maintains active social media channels and partner domains for recruitment and client engagement. Growth indicators include event hosting and continuous service expansion. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS data and consistent registration details reinforce legitimacy. Strategic partnerships and a comprehensive service portfolio position SIWA well in the regional digital agency market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with implementation of key HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security headers (though HSTS is disabled). The use of a content security policy restricts resource loading to trusted domains, reducing attack surface. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities, exposing users to potential interception and undermining trust. No DNSSEC or CAA records are configured, which could improve DNS and certificate issuance security. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are present and GDPR compliant. Overall, the security posture is weakened by missing HTTPS and TLS support, requiring immediate remediation.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols and disable all insecure protocols to ensure encrypted communications.
  3. Activate and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain and certificate security.
  5. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS with PHP 8.2.28 backend, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries including Swiper.js and Font Awesome for UI components. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, providing global content delivery. The site uses responsive design with Open Sans and Jost fonts, optimized for mobile and accessibility. Meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and SSL/TLS is not configured, which is a major technical risk. The site uses external analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and ChatFinder.AI. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-structured but requires urgent security upgrades to SSL/TLS and protocol support.
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.
