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

The website www.wieneralpen.at serves as a comprehensive regional tourism portal for the Wiener Alpen area in Lower Austria, Austria. It provides detailed information on hiking, cultural events, accommodation, and travel tips, targeting tourists interested in outdoor and cultural activities. The site is well-branded and consistent with regional tourism authorities, offering a good user experience with clear navigation and multilingual support. Technically, it employs modern web technologies including JavaScript frameworks, Vimeo video integration, Google Tag Manager, Matomo analytics with privacy-conscious configurations, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy-respecting analytics, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The site does not expose sensitive data or use vulnerable libraries. Privacy compliance is partial due to the absence of a visible privacy policy and terms of service. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and safe for general audiences.

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

5 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

    • 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. 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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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 tourism promotion entity focused on the Wiener Alpen region, offering services such as accommodation booking, event information, and travel inspiration. Its market position is that of a regional authority or official tourism portal, likely supported by local government or tourism boards. The business model revolves around promoting tourism and facilitating visitor engagement through digital content and booking capabilities. The target audience includes hikers, families, culture enthusiasts, and general tourists. The website integrates with partner domains related to Lower Austria tourism and event management. No direct revenue streams or e-commerce platforms were detected in the provided content, suggesting a focus on information dissemination and lead generation for local businesses.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo with DoNotTrack and disabled cookies), and a cookie consent mechanism via Cookiebot. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Security headers are likely present but not explicitly confirmed in the provided data. Overall, the site follows good security practices but should enhance documentation and communication of its security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement and explicitly declare security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Vimeo API for video content, Google Tag Manager for tag management, Matomo for analytics with privacy settings, and Cookiebot for cookie consent. The CSS and fonts are well-structured and optimized for mobile responsiveness. Hosting appears to be regional, possibly managed by Niederösterreich tourism infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred execution. The site lacks explicit CMS identification but appears to be custom-built or using a proprietary system. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph tags, and canonical links. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by explicit security header implementation and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
