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

The ANKÖ Vergabeportal website serves as a public procurement platform primarily targeting government agencies and contractors in Austria. The site is built using modern web technologies, specifically Angular 18.2.13, and integrates HubSpot analytics for user tracking and marketing purposes. However, the visible content is minimal in the provided snapshot, indicating either a client-side rendered application or limited public-facing content on the landing page. The business model focuses on facilitating tender and procurement processes within the public sector, positioning itself as a niche government service provider. From a technical perspective, the website employs a modern JavaScript framework and includes deferred and asynchronous loading of scripts, which suggests an intent to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal, with only basic meta tags and no structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The absence of visible privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies indicates gaps in compliance and user transparency. Security posture analysis reveals no explicit security headers or policies in the HTML snapshot, and no contact or incident response channels are visible. The site uses HTTPS (assumed from the URL), but SSL configuration details are not provided. The integration of HubSpot analytics introduces moderate user tracking, but no cookie consent mechanism was detected, which may raise GDPR compliance concerns. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were identified, and no WAF or blocking mechanisms are present. Overall, the website appears legitimate and consistent with its government/public sector role but lacks comprehensive privacy and security disclosures. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and user contact information would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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.

    • 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

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

ANKÖ Vergabeportal operates as a government/public sector procurement platform in Austria, serving as a centralized portal for tender announcements and management. Its market positioning is niche, focusing on public procurement processes, which likely limits competition but requires strict compliance with government regulations. The business model is service-oriented, providing digital infrastructure for procurement transparency and efficiency. Revenue streams may derive from government funding or service contracts. The target customer segments include government agencies and contractors seeking public tenders. Growth indicators are not visible from the provided data. The partnership ecosystem includes integration with marketing and analytics tools like HubSpot. Strategic observations suggest a need for enhanced transparency and compliance to maintain trust and meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of the ANKÖ Vergabeportal website is basic. While HTTPS is presumably enabled, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or Strict-Transport-Security were detected in the HTML snapshot. There are no visible incident response or abuse contact channels, which limits the ability to report security issues effectively. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. The use of HubSpot analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible consent mechanisms, further impacting privacy compliance. No explicit vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified, but the lack of security best practices and transparency represents a risk. Enhancing security headers, implementing clear privacy and cookie policies, and establishing incident response contacts are recommended to improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response and abuse reporting channels to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks.
  5. Enhance website content and navigation to improve user experience and provide clear business and compliance information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular version 18.2.13, indicating a modern single-page application framework. JavaScript files are loaded asynchronously and deferred to optimize performance. HubSpot analytics scripts are integrated for marketing and user tracking purposes. The HTML includes basic meta tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data, limiting SEO effectiveness. Mobile optimization is basic with some responsive CSS rules. No CMS or hosting provider information is discernible from the HTML snapshot. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through enhanced SEO and accessibility features. The absence of security headers and privacy-related content suggests technical debt in compliance and security implementation. Modernization opportunities include adding structured data, improving accessibility, and implementing security best practices.
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.
