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

FRIEDEN Informatik GmbH is a specialized IT and software company serving the Austrian residential construction sector, offering consulting, custom software solutions, and IT support. The company is a subsidiary of the Wohnbaugenossenschaft FRIEDEN, leveraging over 25 years of industry experience to provide tailored IT services to housing cooperatives, property managers, and real estate developers. The website content is professionally presented, targeting a German-speaking audience primarily in Austria. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and uses advanced cookie consent management to comply with GDPR. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is currently invalid, which poses a significant security risk and undermines trust. Security headers are partially implemented, but critical protections like a valid HTTPS certificate and XSS protection are missing. The domain steinringer.com shows inconsistent DNS and SSL data, suggesting it may not be the primary domain for the website content, which is hosted on frieden-informatik.at. Overall, the business demonstrates strong market positioning and privacy compliance but requires urgent improvements in SSL security and domain configuration to enhance trust and security posture.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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
  • 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 operates in the real estate and technology sectors, focusing on IT solutions for the housing industry. Its business model revolves around consulting, software development, and IT management services tailored to residential construction and property management. The firm benefits from a strong parent company relationship, enhancing its market credibility. Testimonials and client references indicate a solid reputation and customer satisfaction. The use of advanced cookie consent tools and GDPR compliance reflects a mature approach to privacy. The company targets medium-sized enterprises and housing cooperatives in Austria, with a clear focus on long-term partnerships and quality service delivery.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with critical gaps. While several security headers are set, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and proper HTTPS implementation is a major vulnerability. The disabled X-XSS-Protection header and lack of DNSSEC further weaken the security stance. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which could hinder effective breach management. The website uses WordPress with security plugins like Wordfence, indicating some level of protection against attacks. However, the invalid SSL and missing DNS records for the main domain reduce overall trust and expose the site to potential man-in-the-middle attacks.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure all communications.
  2. Enable and properly configure HSTS to enforce HTTPS usage and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Implement DNSSEC and add CAA records to strengthen domain name system security.
  4. Enable X-XSS-Protection or implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  6. Review and correct DNS configurations to ensure domain steinringer.com properly resolves and aligns with website content.
  7. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Apache server technology, enhanced with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. SEO is managed via Yoast SEO plugin, and cookie consent is handled by Real Cookie Banner Pro, indicating a modern and privacy-conscious tech stack. Performance metrics are not available, but the site uses preloading and deferred script loading to optimize speed. Accessibility is basic but functional, with mobile optimization rated good. The lack of valid SSL and DNS records for the primary domain are significant technical risks. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, and no CDN usage is detected. Overall, the infrastructure is standard for a medium-sized enterprise website but requires improvements in security and DNS management.
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.
