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

wb-bc Business Consulting und Beteiligungs GmbH is a small Austrian consulting firm specializing in digital and online business consulting services. Their offerings include business founding, digital transformation, performance improvement, financing, business model innovation, and succession planning. The company emphasizes practical, tailored solutions delivered through digital channels such as phone, Skype, MS Teams, and Zoom, with modular booking and payment options available online. The website is built on WordPress using Elementor and integrates various marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. While the site is content-rich and professionally designed with good navigation and mobile optimization, it lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over HTTP only, which is a significant security concern. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive cookie consent and privacy policies. Contact information is clearly presented, and the company maintains an active social media presence. Overall, the business appears legitimate and trustworthy, but the lack of HTTPS significantly impacts the security posture.

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

8 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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

  3. 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"

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 company targets SMEs and business founders in Austria seeking consulting services in digitalization and business performance. Their business model leverages digital communication tools to deliver consulting remotely, reducing the need for in-person meetings. The presence of online booking and payment integration indicates a modern approach to client engagement. Testimonials and certifications add trust signals. The company uses multiple social media platforms to engage with clients and promote services. Hosting is provided by world4you.at, a known Austrian hosting provider. The domain registration is consistent with the business identity and location. No suspicious WHOIS patterns or privacy protection are used, enhancing transparency.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over unencrypted HTTP, which exposes users to potential interception and undermines trust. Security headers are minimal, and advanced protections like HSTS are not enabled. No dedicated security or incident response policies are found on the site. The site uses up-to-date plugins and frameworks but should ensure regular updates to mitigate vulnerabilities. Forms are present but no explicit security measures like CAPTCHA or input sanitization details are visible. The overall security posture is basic and requires immediate improvement to protect user data and business reputation.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Implement additional security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to reduce vulnerability risks.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and ShareThis. Hosting is provided by world4you.at with DNS configured accordingly. Performance metrics are missing, indicating a need for performance monitoring and optimization. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, the lack of HTTPS and minimal security headers represent technical risks. The site uses modern web technologies but should improve security and performance monitoring.
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.
