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

  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 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 holds a strong market position as the official professional body for civil engineers and architects in Austria. Its business model revolves around member representation, service provision, and information dissemination. The organization leverages a network of regional chambers, providing localized services while maintaining a unified national presence. Key services include member login, professional directories, awards, and legal resources. The website supports growth and engagement through clear navigation, external partnerships, and public outreach. The presence of awards and historical research projects highlights a commitment to professional excellence and community building.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and privacy-respecting analytics that avoid cookies. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML, and member login areas are segregated. However, the absence of a visible cookie consent mechanism and lack of published incident response or security policies represent minor compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. The site aligns well with GDPR requirements and shows a responsible approach to user data and privacy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure full compliance with EU cookie laws.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update privacy policies to reflect evolving regulations and practices.
  5. Enhance user education on data protection and security best practices via the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack, primarily Nuxt.js and Vue.js, enabling server-side rendering and good performance. It uses WebP images for optimized media delivery and lazy loading for performance. The CMS appears custom but well-integrated with the frontend. Analytics are handled by Matomo with a privacy-first approach, avoiding cookies and using anonymized identifiers. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure.
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.
