49/100

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

WK-Development GmbH is a Vienna-based real estate development company specializing in exclusive residential projects in Vienna, its surroundings, and Eastern Europe. The company operates as a management holding for project companies involved in acquisition, development, and sale of high-end residential properties. With a portfolio exceeding 150,000 m² of new residential space developed in recent years, WK-Development targets private and institutional investors seeking profitable real estate investments. The website reflects a mature digital presence with detailed project showcases, team profiles, and partner information, supporting its market positioning as a reliable and growing player in Central European real estate development. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a modern CMS and SEO-friendly infrastructure. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security gap, exposing users to potential data interception risks. The site lacks advanced security headers and email authentication mechanisms like DMARC, which could be improved to enhance trust and security. Performance data is unavailable, but the site uses WP Rocket for optimization and appears mobile responsive. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS and TLS protocols, no HSTS, and no OCSP stapling. Privacy compliance is partial; a comprehensive privacy policy exists, but no cookie consent mechanism is detected, which is a GDPR compliance risk. Contact information is clearly presented, including a company email and physical address, but no phone numbers are explicitly provided. Social media presence is active on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. Overall, WK-Development GmbH presents a professional and credible business front with strong content and branding but requires urgent security improvements to protect users and comply with privacy regulations. Strategic recommendations include immediate SSL implementation, enhanced email security, and cookie consent integration to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

4 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

    • 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. 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Business profile

WK-Development GmbH operates in the real estate development sector with a focus on exclusive residential projects in Vienna and surrounding regions. The company targets both private and institutional investors, offering investment opportunities with transparent management processes. Its business model includes acquisition, development, financing, planning, implementation, and restoration of residential properties. The firm has a solid market position as a fast-growing entity with a portfolio of over 150,000 m² developed in recent years. Partnerships with financial institutions and marketing agencies support its operations. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized company with a professional team and clear growth ambitions. The absence of a parent company or subsidiaries suggests independent operation. The company leverages digital marketing tools and maintains social media channels to engage its audience and promote projects.

Security posture

The website currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support HTTPS or any TLS protocols, which is a critical security vulnerability exposing visitors to potential interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No HSTS policy is implemented, and OCSP stapling is disabled, reducing certificate validation efficiency. Email security is partially addressed with a valid SPF record but lacks DMARC, increasing risk of email spoofing. Security headers are minimal, and no advanced protections like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are detected. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies are publicly available. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, which is a privacy compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is poor and requires immediate remediation to protect users and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire website.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) and disable insecure protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Configure OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate validation performance.
  5. Add DMARC DNS record to complement existing SPF and improve email security.
  6. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR requirements.
  7. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  8. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  9. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  10. Improve accessibility features and performance monitoring for better user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 5.6.3 with Elementor and Elementor Pro page builders, leveraging Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It uses jQuery and Owl Carousel for interactive elements and WP Rocket for caching and performance optimization. Hosting is provided by world4you.at as indicated by DNS nameservers. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and professional design. However, the lack of HTTPS and TLS support is a major technical deficiency. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the use of WP Rocket and lazy loading images suggests some optimization efforts. The site uses multiple external resources including Google Fonts and social media integrations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades and performance validation.
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.
