Security score

35/100

Risk levelHigh

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

weXelerate GmbH operates Austria's leading innovation ecosystem, founded in 2017 by Austrian corporates to foster innovation through a combination of physical hub space, ecosystem collaboration, and accelerator programs. The company targets innovative startups and corporates seeking to accelerate their innovation capabilities. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and Elementor, with strong SEO practices including structured data and Open Graph metadata. However, the site lacks HTTPS, which is a critical security vulnerability. Contact information and social media presence are clearly provided, supporting business credibility. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and security headers indicates gaps in privacy compliance and security posture. Overall, the business is legitimate and well-positioned in its market, but technical and security improvements are needed to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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

      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"

    • 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

The company holds a strong market position in Austria's innovation sector, offering hub services like offices and event spaces, innovation consulting, and a startup accelerator called Venturecake. The business model focuses on ecosystem building and corporate-startup collaboration. The website reflects a medium-sized enterprise with over 80 members and 300+ projects. Partnerships such as Venturecake enhance its ecosystem. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Google Tag Manager but lacks advanced privacy and security features. Growth indicators include active event calendars and workshops. The business targets innovation-driven companies and startups, emphasizing continuous evolution and adaptation.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and SSL certificates, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers or modern TLS protocols are enabled, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published. While no immediate vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected, the lack of encryption and security best practices significantly lowers the security score. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. The site should prioritize SSL installation and security header implementation to protect user data and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install a valid SSL certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide to secure data transmission.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly update WordPress core, plugins, and themes to reduce vulnerability exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring good SEO and content management capabilities. The hosting is on a DigitalOcean IP with DNS managed by internex.at. Performance metrics are missing, but the site uses multiple external scripts including jQuery and marquee3k for UI effects. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic. The lack of HTTPS and security headers is a major technical risk. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Structured data and Open Graph tags are well implemented, enhancing search engine visibility and social sharing.
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.
