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

The website wettermelden.at appears to be an informational platform related to weather reporting, likely affiliated with the Austrian meteorological service (ZAMG), as indicated by the logo and DNS name servers. The site uses modern web technologies such as React and Leaflet.js for interactive map features, but the visible content is minimal and primarily serves as a weather data reporting interface. The technical infrastructure is moderately modern with external dependencies on trusted CDNs and analytics services. Security posture is basic with no evident security headers or privacy policies, and no contact or incident response information is provided. The domain registration is consistent with the website's purpose and location, registered via a known Austrian registrar and using name servers linked to ZAMG. Overall, the site is functional but lacks comprehensive privacy, security, and contact information, which limits trust and compliance levels.

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

Wettermelden.at serves a niche informational role in the meteorological sector in Austria, likely providing weather data to the public. The business model is informational/public service oriented, with no evident commercial transactions or advertising. The target audience is the general public interested in weather updates. The site leverages partnerships or affiliations with ZAMG, Austria's national meteorological service, as indicated by DNS and branding. There is no evidence of revenue streams, certifications, or extensive business operations. The site is small in scale and focused on delivering weather-related content with minimal user interaction.

Security posture

The security maturity of wettermelden.at is low to moderate. The site uses HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed), but no security headers were detected in the provided data. There are no visible forms or inputs that could introduce vulnerabilities, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response mechanisms and security contact channels are not provided, limiting the ability to respond to security incidents effectively. The use of Plausible Analytics suggests minimal user tracking, which is positive from a privacy perspective. Overall, the site would benefit from implementing security best practices such as security headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any vulnerable libraries or configurations.
  5. Enhance website content and navigation to improve user experience and professional appearance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and Leaflet.js for interactive mapping, indicating a modern front-end technology stack. External resources are loaded from trusted CDNs such as unpkg.com. The site uses Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The hosting and domain registration are managed by Hutchison Drei Austria GmbH and use name servers associated with ZAMG, suggesting a stable and regionally appropriate hosting environment. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading, and mobile optimization appears good based on responsive meta tags and icon sets. However, the site lacks SEO optimization and accessibility features beyond basic levels. There is no detected CMS or backend technology from the provided data.
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.
