Risk levelMedium

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

Austrian Airlines AG operates a comprehensive and professional airline website targeting global travelers seeking flights and related travel services. The site offers extensive booking options, flight management, and loyalty program integration, reflecting a mature digital presence consistent with a major European airline and Lufthansa Group member. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Apache server, Adobe Helix, and Maui Design System, with content delivery optimized via Akamai CDN. However, performance metrics indicate slow loading times, suggesting room for optimization. Security posture reveals critical gaps, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which significantly undermine user trust and data protection. While security headers and content policies are well implemented, the lack of HTTPS is a major concern. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, though cookie consent mechanisms are not clearly detected. Overall, the website is highly professional and credible but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to ensure secure user interactions and compliance with modern security standards.

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

5 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Austrian Airlines holds a strong market position as a key European carrier and Lufthansa Group member, serving over 120 destinations worldwide. Its business model focuses on passenger air transportation supplemented by ancillary services such as baggage handling, upgrades, and travel insurance. The company targets leisure and business travelers, leveraging its Miles & More loyalty program to enhance customer retention. The website's integration with partner domains like booking.com and cartrawler.com indicates diversified revenue streams through affiliate marketing. The digital ecosystem is well integrated with airline alliance partners and travel technology providers, supporting a seamless customer journey. Growth indicators include new destinations and sustainable flying initiatives. The partnership ecosystem is robust, enhancing market reach and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates moderate security maturity with several best practices in place, including a strict Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and XSS protection headers. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential data interception and undermine trust. The lack of DNSSEC and malformed CAA records further weaken domain security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are evident, indicating potential gaps in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are lacking. The security culture appears focused on header-based protections but requires enhancement in encryption and incident readiness to meet enterprise standards.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user data.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to ensure encrypted communications.
  3. Increase HSTS max-age and enable preload to enforce HTTPS usage.
  4. Correct CAA DNS records to valid syntax to improve certificate issuance security.
  5. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to enhance SSL performance and security.
  6. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to protect against DNS spoofing.
  7. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with privacy regulations.
  8. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  9. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience.
  10. Continue maintaining comprehensive privacy policies and transparent data practices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an Apache server with content delivered via Akamai CDN, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks and Adobe Helix CMS. The Maui Design System is used for UI components, indicating a modular and maintainable front-end architecture. Despite modern tech stack usage, performance is poor with zero load time and resource count reported, suggesting measurement issues or slow actual performance. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are well implemented with ARIA roles, meta tags, and structured navigation. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Technical risks include missing SSL/TLS, which impacts secure data transmission and SEO rankings. Modernization opportunities include improving SSL configuration, enabling HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, and enhancing caching strategies.
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.
