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

Universität Graz is a prominent Austrian university dedicated to education and research, serving students, researchers, and the academic community. The website reflects its mission to develop solutions for the future and showcases its research profile, study programs, and community engagement. It holds a strong market position as a reputable institution with international connections. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS with Angular components, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Matomo. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS, employs security headers, and anonymizes IPs in analytics, but lacks explicit public security policies or incident response contacts. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with GDPR, though it could improve transparency on security and vulnerability disclosures.

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 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 university operates in the education sector, providing academic programs and research services. Its business model is public and service-oriented, targeting students, academics, and partners in research and industry. The website indicates a large organizational size with multiple faculties and community initiatives. Partnerships with related domains for fundraising, career services, and library services suggest a broad ecosystem. The university maintains a strong brand presence and trust signals through official policies and social media. Growth indicators include active event listings and news updates. The site supports multilingual access, enhancing its international reach.

Security posture

The security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of anonymized IP tracking in analytics demonstrates privacy awareness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness perception. The site should consider publishing a security policy and providing dedicated security contact channels to enhance trust and compliance with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security measures and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing practices in privacy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS combined with Angular framework components, indicating a modern and modular architecture. It employs SVG graphics for logos and icons, enhancing scalability and performance. Analytics are managed via Google Analytics and Matomo, with IP anonymization enabled. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, including skip links and ARIA attributes. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content and extensive scripts. There is an opportunity to optimize loading times and further modernize the tech stack. Security headers and HTTPS configuration are well implemented, supporting a secure user experience.
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.
