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

Josef Thurner Holz GmbH operates as a medium-sized wood trading company based in Austria, specializing in both international and retail wood commerce, including wood mediation services. The company is positioned as the largest wood market in the Carinthia and East Tyrol regions, offering a broad range of wood products such as construction timber, laminated wood, biofuels, and wood protection products. Their business model combines wholesale, retail, and online sales channels, targeting both business clients and consumers interested in wood products. Technically, the website employs legacy technologies like jQuery and custom PHP-based CMS, hosted likely by A1.net, but suffers from slow performance and basic mobile optimization. Critically, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which severely impacts its security posture. While privacy compliance is addressed with a cookie consent banner and a privacy policy, the absence of a security policy or incident response information indicates gaps in security maturity. Overall, the website is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance 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

7 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

  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"

    • 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 holds a strong regional market position as a leading wood market in Austria, with a diversified product portfolio and services including international trade and mediation. The presence of an online shop indicates digital sales capabilities. The business targets both B2B and B2C segments within the wood industry. The company has transparent registration and VAT information, supporting credibility. Partnerships with related domains like zirbenhandel.at suggest a networked ecosystem within the wood trading sector. Growth potential exists through digital channel expansion and improved technical infrastructure.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The server does not support modern TLS protocols or strong cipher suites, and lacks OCSP stapling and session resumption features. Although some security headers are present, their effectiveness is limited without HTTPS. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are available. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate some compliance with GDPR, but overall security maturity is low, posing risks to business operations and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Upgrade server configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 with strong cipher suites.
  3. Enhance security headers including full HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Improve website performance and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and a custom PHP CMS, indicating moderate technical debt. The DNS is managed via A1.net nameservers, suggesting a regional hosting provider. Performance metrics are missing or zero, indicating possible measurement gaps or slow loading. The site lacks modern security protocols and optimization features. The HTML content is well-structured with clear navigation menus and multilingual support (German and Italian). There is room for modernization in technology stack, performance tuning, and security hardening to reduce operational risks and improve digital maturity.
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.
