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

The website 'Heckennavigator' is a non-profit ecological gardening resource primarily focused on supporting users in creating biodiverse mixed hedges for private and public spaces. It is affiliated with the Austrian organization 'Natur im Garten' and partners with EU and Interreg initiatives, indicating a strong regional and ecological mission. The site offers educational content and a hedge planning tool, targeting garden owners and public space planners interested in sustainable landscaping. Technically, the site is built on the Contao CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and jQuery UI libraries. It employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with basic accessibility and SEO features. Structured data is implemented for SEO enhancement. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices such as CSRF protection and session management but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a visible cookie banner and privacy policy, though no terms of service or incident response contacts are provided. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally presented, and aligned with its ecological and educational mission. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response readiness, and accessibility could further enhance its posture and user trust.

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

      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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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 business operates in the non-profit ecological gardening sector, serving a niche market focused on biodiversity and sustainable landscaping in Austria and neighboring regions. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized hedge planning tool and strong partnerships with EU and Interreg programs. The business model is informational and educational, with no direct commercial transactions evident. The target audience includes private garden owners and public space planners seeking ecological solutions. Growth potential is tied to increasing environmental awareness and regional support. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable governmental and EU bodies, enhancing credibility and resource access.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and basic protections like CSRF tokens and session cookies. However, it lacks comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which limits preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned cookie consent and privacy policy presence. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating a low immediate risk. Enhancing security policies and incident response readiness would improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Expand privacy documentation to include detailed data retention policies and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a stable and mature CMS platform (Contao) with common JavaScript libraries (jQuery, jQuery UI) for UI components. The site loads asynchronously some scripts to improve performance and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Mobile optimization is good, and the design is consistent and professional. However, the site could benefit from modern frontend frameworks and improved accessibility features. Hosting details are not explicit, but SSL is properly configured. No critical technical debt or performance bottlenecks were detected, though SEO and accessibility could be further enhanced.
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.
