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

The Österreichische Gesundheitskasse (ÖGK) operates as a major public healthcare insurance provider in Austria, offering a broad range of health-related services and information to insured individuals, employers, and contract partners. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for health facilities, health services, customer support, appointment scheduling, and career opportunities, targeting Austrian residents and stakeholders in the healthcare sector. The organization maintains a consistent and professional online presence with clear branding and trust signals, including official government domain usage and social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on a mature infrastructure utilizing Apache, Jakarta Faces (JSF), jQuery 3.6.0, and Gentics CMS. It integrates advanced features such as a content slider and Piwik PRO analytics for user behavior tracking. However, performance metrics appear incomplete, and the site shows moderate loading characteristics. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are well addressed, with good mobile responsiveness and clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site implements several best practices including a detailed Content-Security-Policy and HttpOnly, Secure cookie flags. Nevertheless, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical vulnerability, severely impacting the security posture. Other SSL/TLS features such as modern protocol support, OCSP stapling, and session resumption are missing. Privacy compliance is strong, with GDPR-aligned cookie consent mechanisms and clear privacy policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally managed but requires urgent security improvements to enable HTTPS and strengthen SSL/TLS configurations. Addressing these issues will enhance user trust, data protection, and compliance with modern security standards.

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

6 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 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

ÖGK holds a dominant position in Austria's public healthcare insurance market, serving a large enterprise-scale audience including insured persons, employers, and healthcare partners. Its business model revolves around providing statutory health insurance and related services, supported by a comprehensive digital portal. The organization benefits from strong partnerships within the Austrian social insurance ecosystem, as evidenced by shared infrastructure with sozvers.at and related domains. The website's content and service offerings indicate a focus on accessibility, customer service, and digital engagement, including mobile app promotion and social media outreach. Growth indicators include active news updates and career opportunities, signaling organizational vitality and public engagement. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving multiple government and healthcare-related entities, reinforcing ÖGK's authoritative market presence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate due to the implementation of several security headers and cookie protections. The Content-Security-Policy is comprehensive but weakened by the allowance of 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' scripts, which could expose the site to cross-site scripting risks. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS is a critical vulnerability, exposing users to potential data interception and undermining trust. No evidence of incident response or published security policies was found, indicating potential gaps in security governance and transparency. Privacy compliance is well handled with cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. The site would benefit from enhanced SSL/TLS configurations, improved CSP, and explicit incident response contact channels to elevate its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Install and enforce a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Update Content-Security-Policy to remove 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives to mitigate XSS risks.
  3. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and implement OCSP stapling and session resumption for improved security and performance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and providing explicit data protection officer contact information.

Notes

The website runs on Apache with Jakarta Faces (JSF) framework and uses jQuery 3.6.0 for client-side scripting. The CMS identified is Gentics CMS, a professional content management system. The site uses Slick Carousel for interactive content sliders and integrates Piwik PRO Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Despite a modern tech stack, performance data is incomplete, suggesting potential monitoring gaps. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern SSL/TLS protocols represents a significant technical risk. The server exposes an 'X-Powered-By' header with a custom string, which could be reduced to limit information leakage. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but requires urgent security upgrades and performance monitoring improvements.
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.
