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

Tirol.at is the official tourism website for the Tirol region in Austria, operated by Tirol Werbung. It provides comprehensive travel information, guides, and services targeting tourists interested in outdoor activities, culture, wellness, and family vacations in Tirol. The website is well-branded, professionally designed, and offers multi-language support, interactive maps, newsletters, and social media engagement. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and hosted on servers managed by ikbnet.at. However, it lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which is a critical security shortfall. Security headers are partially implemented but miss key protections such as HSTS and modern TLS protocols. Privacy compliance is strong, with clear privacy and cookie policies and a consent management platform in place. Contact information is complete and prominently displayed, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site offers excellent content quality and user experience 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

8 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 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"

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 website serves as a central hub for tourism promotion in Tirol, Austria, positioning itself as the authoritative source for travel planning in the region. Its business model focuses on information dissemination and tourism marketing, supported by a network of related domains under the Tirol Gruppe umbrella. The target audience includes families, outdoor enthusiasts, cultural tourists, and wellness seekers. The site leverages partnerships and subsidiaries to extend its services, including e-commerce (tirolshop.com) and event management (cine.tirol, convention.tirol). The presence of extensive content, multi-language support, and interactive features indicates a mature digital presence aimed at maximizing visitor engagement and regional tourism growth.

Security posture

The security posture of tirol.at is currently weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential data interception risks. While some security headers like X-Content-Type-Options are present, critical protections such as HSTS, OCSP stapling, and modern TLS protocols are missing. The site uses secure cookie flags but does not implement session resumption or certificate transparency compliance. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are publicly available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. These gaps represent significant risks, especially given the site's role in collecting user data via forms and newsletter subscriptions. Immediate remediation is recommended to secure communications and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance and security.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  6. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  7. Regularly audit and update security headers to cover all recommended best practices.
  8. Maintain and monitor privacy compliance, ensuring cookie consent mechanisms remain effective.
  9. Improve performance metrics and monitor load times for better user experience.
  10. Continue enhancing accessibility and SEO optimizations to maintain high content quality.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a mature and extensible content management system, indicating a robust technical foundation. The hosting provider is identified as ikbnet.at, with DNS and MX records properly configured, including SPF records for email protection. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for consent management, reflecting modern marketing and privacy practices. However, the lack of HTTPS and TLS support is a critical technical deficiency. Performance data is unavailable, but the site includes responsive design and accessibility features, suggesting good mobile optimization and user experience. The extensive use of CSS and JavaScript assets indicates a complex front-end architecture that supports rich interactivity and navigation.
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.
