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 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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

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

VVT holds a key position in Tirol's transportation ecosystem, providing essential services including ticket sales, route planning, and mobility solutions such as Regiobus and E-Carsharing. Their business model focuses on public service with revenue streams from ticket sales and partnerships. The company targets residents and visitors in Tirol, emphasizing accessibility and sustainability. The website's integration with partner and service domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include digital engagement and promotional campaigns like the 30-year anniversary. Strategic partnerships and compliance with legal frameworks reinforce their operational stability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent management. Use of Google Consent Mode and Cookiebot reflects attention to privacy and regulatory compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, explicit security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy were not confirmed and should be verified. Incident response contact details are not prominently available, which could be improved. Overall, the security maturity is good for a public service website, balancing user experience and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve incident response transparency.
  3. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts or abuse reporting channels on the website.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Continue improving accessibility and mobile optimization to maintain high user experience standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform using ColdFusion (.cfm) with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQuery UI. Cookiebot is used for consent management, integrated with Google Tag Manager and analytics tools like Google Analytics and Hotjar. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing script loading and caching. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization in framework usage and enhanced security configurations. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for technical enhancements.
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.
