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. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 23 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

voestalpine AG holds a strong market position as a global leader in steel and technology manufacturing, serving diverse sectors including automotive, aerospace, energy, and transportation. Its business model focuses on premium products and system solutions, supported by extensive R&D and sustainability initiatives. The company targets industrial clients and investors, with a broad global footprint. Revenue streams are diversified across product lines and geographies. The website reflects a mature partnership ecosystem and strategic focus on innovation and compliance. Growth indicators include recent financial reports and sustainability programs. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear investor relations and job recruitment channels, supporting ongoing business development and market engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and integration of a consent management platform for GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers and public security policies or incident response information indicates gaps in transparency and best practices. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could improve trust and incident handling readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced security communication and header implementation to mitigate risks and improve compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is complete and publicly accessible to improve domain registration trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Continue to monitor and update privacy and cookie compliance mechanisms to maintain GDPR adherence and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap framework, and integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics CMP for analytics and consent management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site structure is clear with multi-language support and SEO best practices evident in meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could improve by adding security headers and enhancing performance optimizations.
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.
