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

The website for Bundeskammer der Ziviltechniker:innen serves as an official directory and information portal for licensed civil engineers and architects in Austria. It provides detailed contact information for regional chambers and the federal chamber, facilitating professional engagement and member services. The site targets professionals in engineering and architecture, offering search functionality and comprehensive listings. Technically, the site is built on Angular 13 with modern UI elements including Font Awesome icons and Google Maps integration, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data but lacks advanced security headers and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a privacy policy page but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its governmental role, though improvements in security and privacy practices are recommended.

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. 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';…

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 Bundeskammer der Ziviltechniker:innen operates as a government-affiliated professional chamber regulating civil engineers and architects in Austria. Its market position is authoritative within the Austrian engineering and architecture sectors, providing essential services such as member directories and regulatory information. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on membership management and professional oversight. The organization maintains partnerships with regional chambers, reflected in linked domains and contact points. The website supports growth and engagement through accessible search and contact features, targeting licensed professionals and stakeholders. The absence of commercial advertising and tracking underscores a focus on professional service rather than revenue generation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Forms are present but no explicit security measures like CAPTCHA or input validation indicators are visible. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and include a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain and improve the website's security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is developed using Angular 13, a modern and widely supported front-end framework, ensuring a responsive and interactive user experience. It utilizes Font Awesome 6 for iconography and integrates Google Maps API for location services, indicating a moderate level of technical sophistication. The site appears to be hosted on a platform supporting HTTPS, though hosting provider details are not explicit. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhancements in SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
