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

The website www.tirol.at serves as the official tourism portal for the Tirol region in Austria, operated by Tirol Werbung. It provides comprehensive travel guides, activity suggestions, accommodation options, and cultural information targeting tourists and travelers interested in visiting Tirol. The site is well-positioned as a regional tourism authority, offering key services such as newsletters, event information, and interactive maps to enhance visitor experience. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Usercentrics for consent management, and captcha.eu for form security. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, ensuring a professional and user-friendly digital presence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, employs captcha on forms, and integrates consent management for GDPR compliance. While explicit security headers are not visible in the HTML, the overall security posture is strong with no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is noted. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection does not detract from its legitimacy given the consistent branding, official contact information, and comprehensive content. Strategic recommendations include enhancing visible security headers and publishing a security policy to further strengthen 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

  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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

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

Tirol Werbung operates as the official tourism marketing organization for the Tirol region, focusing on promoting the area's natural beauty, cultural heritage, and recreational activities. The business model centers on providing authoritative travel information and marketing services to attract visitors year-round. The website's multilingual presence and partnerships with related domains indicate a broad target audience across Europe. Revenue streams likely include tourism promotion funding and merchandise sales via the Tirol Shop. The organization maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with regional service providers and cultural institutions, supporting a robust tourism infrastructure.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of captcha for form protection, and integration of a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the site aligns well with best practices for a public-facing tourism website but could improve in incident response readiness and security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program and hosting a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system, indicating a stable and scalable infrastructure. The use of modern JavaScript libraries such as Swiper.js for interactive elements and Iconify for icons contributes to a rich user experience. Google Tag Manager integration supports advanced analytics and marketing capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features, reflecting good technical maturity. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the extensive use of external assets and scripts. Hosting details are not explicitly available, but the presence of HTTPS and CDN-hosted assets suggests a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to optimize loading times and further modernize front-end technologies.
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.
