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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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

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 company positions itself as a medium-sized hospitality group with a strong regional focus, offering differentiated hotel and gastronomy services. Their business model revolves around providing unique guest experiences through multiple properties, leveraging partnerships for booking and reservations. The presence of multiple contact points, detailed hotel and restaurant pages, and active content updates indicate a growth-oriented and customer-centric approach. The integration with third-party booking platforms and reservation systems suggests a mature operational ecosystem. The company emphasizes sustainability, employee engagement, and regional partnerships, which are competitive advantages in the hospitality sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and advanced security headers indicates moderate maturity. The use of third-party scripts such as Matomo and Google Analytics is managed with user consent mechanisms, supporting GDPR compliance. Recommendations include publishing a dedicated security policy, adding security headers, and establishing clear incident response channels to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a custom theme and Yoast SEO plugin for optimization. It integrates Matomo and Google Analytics 4 for analytics and uses YouTube embeds for video content. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and performance rated as moderate. DNS prefetching and asynchronous script loading improve load times. The cookie consent plugin is well implemented with granular user controls. No hosting provider details were found in the HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities to improve accessibility and security headers.
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.
