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

The website www.wko.at serves as the official portal for the Austrian Economic Chambers (WKO), providing comprehensive information, services, and advisory offerings targeted at entrepreneurs and business owners in Austria. It holds a strong national market position as a government-affiliated economic chamber portal, offering key services such as information dissemination, consulting, event organization, and e-services tailored to Austrian businesses. The content is primarily in German and is professionally presented with consistent branding and clear navigation. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Swiper.js, and uses Bootstrap for responsive design. The site is powered by Gentics CMS, indicating a mature content management infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO practices are well implemented with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and includes some security headers. It uses Google Tag Manager and consent management scripts to handle tracking and privacy compliance, although explicit privacy and cookie policies were not found in the provided content. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data confirms the legitimacy of the domain with consistent registrant information and appropriate domain age. Overall, the website is a trustworthy, professional, and secure portal for Austrian businesses, though it would benefit from publishing explicit privacy, cookie, and security incident response policies to enhance compliance 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

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

WKO.at operates as a government-affiliated economic chamber portal serving Austrian entrepreneurs and businesses. Its business model focuses on providing informational resources, consulting, and digital services to support business growth and compliance. The portal covers multiple sectors including energy and banking, reflecting Austria's economic landscape. The site demonstrates strong market positioning as a national chamber of commerce platform, with a broad target audience of business owners and stakeholders. The presence of event listings, news, and service portals indicates diversified revenue streams and engagement channels. Partnerships appear to be internal or government-related, with no external commercial partners explicitly identified in the content.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, good SSL configuration, and partial implementation of security headers. The use of asynchronous loading for analytics and consent scripts reduces performance impact and enhances security. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of published incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Recommendations include adding comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, publishing a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page, and enhancing HTTP security headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options to further harden the site.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policy pages linked in the website footer or header.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers by adding HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, and uses Bootstrap for responsive design. It is managed via Gentics CMS, which supports structured content management. The site includes asynchronous loading of analytics and consent scripts, optimizing performance. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented for SEO and social media sharing. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, ensuring usability across devices. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of image sizes and script loading. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected.
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.
