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

Come2Upper Austria is a government-supported service center operated by Business Upper Austria - OÖ Wirtschaftsagentur GmbH. It provides comprehensive support for international companies staffing in Upper Austria and assists foreign employees and their families with relocation, integration, and settling-in processes. The website serves as a guide for career, study, and living opportunities in the region, targeting internationals moving to Upper Austria. The platform offers detailed information, events, and services to facilitate a smooth transition for newcomers. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, leveraging modern web technologies including Matomo for analytics and a cookie consent framework by DataReporter. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a professional design and clear navigation. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and email obfuscation implemented, though some security headers are missing. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. WHOIS data is unavailable or missing, which slightly reduces transparency but does not detract from the overall legitimacy given the official affiliation and clear contact information. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and serves its target audience effectively. Strategic improvements in security headers and public security policies could enhance trust further.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 business operates as a regional government initiative supporting international staffing and relocation in Upper Austria. It holds a strong market position as a trusted government agency service center. The business model focuses on providing informational and support services rather than commercial transactions. Revenue streams likely come from government funding. The target customers are international employees, companies recruiting internationally, and their families. The partnership ecosystem includes related regional sites like welcome2upperaustria.com. Growth indicators include active event listings and community engagement. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious cookie consent. Email addresses are protected via JavaScript obfuscation. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy policy and cookie management. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not visible. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a public security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system suitable for government and institutional websites. The tech stack includes Matomo analytics for privacy-friendly user tracking and DataReporter for cookie consent management. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features. The use of external CDNs for fonts and icons (Font Awesome) is noted. The site structure is clear with well-organized navigation menus. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and improving incident response transparency would reduce risks.
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.
