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

Webwiki.at operates as a specialized website search engine focused on Austrian websites, providing user-generated reviews and ratings to enhance user trust and decision-making. The platform allows webmasters to submit their sites for free and integrates a rating system to evaluate website popularity and quality within the Austrian web ecosystem. The site is well-positioned as a niche local search engine serving Austrian internet users and webmasters. Technically, the website employs a classic Bootstrap 3 framework with jQuery and integrates Google services such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google Ad Manager for advertising and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and includes a GDPR-compliant consent management platform, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a consent mechanism for privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers are not clearly detected, and no dedicated security policy or incident response information is provided. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and privacy practices indicate legitimate operation. Overall, Webwiki.at presents a professional and trustworthy service with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration clarity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and improving direct contact information availability.

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

10 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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"

    • 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';…

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

Webwiki.at targets the Austrian market with a localized search engine and user review platform, differentiating itself from global search engines by focusing on Austrian websites and user experiences. Its business model relies on user-generated content and advertising revenue through Google Ad Manager. The presence of multiple regional sister sites indicates a broader network strategy. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its niche focus and community-driven content. Growth potential exists through expanding user engagement and improving trust signals. Partnerships with regional webwiki domains strengthen its ecosystem. However, the lack of transparent WHOIS data and limited direct contact information may impact business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforcement and GDPR-compliant consent management. The use of Google Funding Choices indicates active management of user privacy preferences. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests potential areas for hardening. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The domain's missing WHOIS data is a concern for trust but may be due to privacy protection. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be improved with better header implementation and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Obtain and display verified company contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional Bootstrap 3 and jQuery stack, which is stable but somewhat dated. Google Fonts and Google Tag Manager are integrated for styling and analytics. Advertising is managed via Google Ad Manager and DoubleClick, with a comprehensive consent management platform for GDPR compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack to newer frameworks and improve accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
