Medium risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

55/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Vienna Insurance Group (VIG) is a leading insurance group in Central and Eastern Europe, operating through over 50 insurance companies and pension funds across 30 countries with approximately 30,000 employees. The website reflects a mature, enterprise-level business with a strong market position and comprehensive service offerings in insurance and reinsurance. The digital infrastructure is modern, leveraging JavaScript frameworks and a CMS (Umbraco), with good content quality and user experience. However, the security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which is a critical vulnerability for a financial services website. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented and GDPR compliant, supporting regulatory adherence. Overall, the site demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to ensure secure communications.

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

4 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

      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

VIG holds a dominant market position in the insurance sector in Central and Eastern Europe, with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries and a strong focus on sustainability, corporate governance, and employee engagement. The company targets insurance customers, investors, and potential employees, emphasizing local adaptation and innovation. The presence of multiple awards and certifications underscores its reputation and commitment to excellence. The website supports investor relations, career opportunities, and sustainability initiatives, indicating a mature and transparent business model with a broad partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website benefits from several security headers such as X-XSS-Protection, X-Frame-Options, Content-Security-Policy, and Strict-Transport-Security. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols critically undermine the security posture, exposing users to risks of data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No OCSP stapling or session resumption is enabled, which affects both security and performance. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries visibly, but the SSL/TLS misconfiguration is a major compliance and security gap. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not found, indicating potential areas for improvement in security transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately 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 secure encrypted connections.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to enhance security transparency.
  5. Continue to maintain and update security headers and privacy compliance measures regularly.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including Vue.js and various UI libraries such as Flickity and MicroModal. It is built on the Umbraco CMS platform and hosted behind Sucuri Cloudproxy WAF, providing protection without blocking legitimate access. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and preloading of fonts. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags. External integrations include analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics and TagCommander. The main technical risk is the invalid SSL configuration, which must be addressed to avoid user trust erosion and compliance issues.
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.
