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

The website represents the Spirituelle Wegbegleiter:innen initiative under the Diözese Linz, a religious non-profit organization in Austria. It offers spiritual guidance, training courses, and community events focused on meditation, fasting, pilgrimage, and grief counseling. The site is well-positioned regionally as a trusted spiritual resource with a clear target audience of individuals seeking spiritual support and education. The business model is non-profit and community-oriented, supported by the Catholic Church in Upper Austria. Technically, the website uses a modern CMS (siteswift), with a tech stack including jQuery, Swiper.js, and a consent management platform (Klaro). It integrates Google Analytics and Piwik Pro for analytics with privacy-conscious configurations such as IP anonymization and opt-in consent. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance characteristics. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, CSRF protection on forms, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism. However, some security headers are missing and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and compliant with GDPR. It effectively serves its community with relevant content and maintains a good balance between usability, privacy, and security.

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. 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

    • 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.

    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 Diözese Linz operates this spiritual guidance platform as part of its broader religious and community services. The site highlights multiple spiritual disciplines and training programs, indicating a diversified offering that supports both individual seekers and community groups. The presence of event calendars and news updates suggests active engagement with its audience. The organization benefits from its affiliation with the Catholic Church, enhancing credibility and trust. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on education and spiritual support rather than revenue generation. Partnerships with educational and religious institutions are implied but not explicitly detailed. Growth indicators include ongoing training courses and events, with digital presence supporting outreach. The website's integration of social media and analytics tools indicates a strategic approach to audience engagement and feedback.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSRF tokens on forms, and a robust cookie consent mechanism that complies with GDPR. The use of Klaro for consent management and IP anonymization in Google Analytics reflects good privacy practices. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site balances usability and security effectively but could benefit from additional hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and update privacy policies as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the siteswift CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. It uses Klaro for cookie consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The integration of Google Analytics and Piwik Pro provides comprehensive analytics capabilities with privacy considerations. The site is mobile-responsive and includes accessibility features, enhancing user experience across devices and for users with disabilities. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading of images and optimized scripts. The technical infrastructure appears well-maintained, though some improvements in security headers and hosting transparency could be made to further strengthen the platform.
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.
