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

techbold is a small Austrian IT service provider specializing in IT solutions and cyber security for small and medium-sized enterprises (KMU). The company positions itself as a trusted partner for IT support and security services tailored to the needs of KMU. The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, integrating modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The technical infrastructure is moderately optimized with good mobile responsiveness and SEO practices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is minimal with no visible privacy or cookie policies and no GDPR compliance indicators. Business credibility is moderate due to professional content but limited contact and trust signals. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but is common for small businesses protecting privacy. Overall, the website is functional and professional but could improve in privacy transparency and security 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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

techbold targets the Austrian SME market with IT and cyber security services, focusing on tailored IT support and solutions. The business model revolves around service provision rather than product sales. The company leverages digital marketing tools but lacks visible certifications or trust badges. Growth potential exists in expanding privacy and security transparency and enhancing contact accessibility. The partnership ecosystem is not evident from the website. The company maintains consistent branding and content quality, positioning itself as a specialized IT service provider in the local market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates standard marketing scripts but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which may hinder rapid response to security events. The absence of a security.txt file and data protection officer contact reduces compliance with GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Security best practices could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear security incident contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Include explicit contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme, a widely used and supported CMS and theme combination. It uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with some optimization evident but could benefit from further improvements in caching and script management. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced to meet higher standards. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured data usage. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
