Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website at www.airbnb.co.kr is currently inaccessible, presenting an 'Access Denied' error page which indicates the presence of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or other security mechanism blocking access. Due to this, no meaningful content, metadata, or business information could be extracted or analyzed. The WHOIS query for the domain returned no registration data, suggesting the domain is either unregistered or not properly configured in the registry, which raises concerns about the legitimacy or operational status of the domain. Without access to the actual website content, it is not possible to assess the business model, services, or technical infrastructure in detail. From a security perspective, the lack of accessible content and absence of security headers or policies prevents a thorough evaluation. The domain's WHOIS inconsistency further reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site appears to be blocked or misconfigured, resulting in a very low security and business credibility score. Strategic recommendations include resolving the access denial issues to enable proper website functionality, ensuring the domain registration is valid and up to date, implementing standard security headers and HTTPS, and publishing clear privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and 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

5 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.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Due to the lack of accessible content and absence of WHOIS registration data, no reliable business intelligence can be derived. The domain name suggests affiliation with Airbnb, a well-known hospitality and lodging marketplace, but no direct evidence from this domain is available. The domain may be a regional or localized version, but without registration or content, its operational status is unclear. No information on market positioning, partnerships, or revenue streams is available.

Security posture

The security posture cannot be fully assessed due to the access denial blocking content retrieval. The presence of a WAF or similar security mechanism is confirmed, which may indicate some level of security hardening. However, the absence of visible security headers, policies, or contact information for incident response reduces confidence. The domain's unregistered status in WHOIS is a significant red flag. No vulnerabilities or compliance gaps can be identified from the available data.

Recommendations

  1. Resolve domain registration and WHOIS inconsistencies to establish legitimacy.
  2. Ensure website content is accessible and not blocked by misconfigured security controls.
  3. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to meet compliance requirements.
  4. Add clear contact and business information to improve trust and credibility.
  5. Deploy standard security headers and HTTPS to enhance security posture.

Key observations

  1. Website content is inaccessible due to access denied error.
  2. No metadata, structured data, or visible content available for analysis.
  3. No contact or business information found on the page.
  4. WHOIS data indicates domain is not registered or not found in registry.
  5. Likely presence of a WAF or security mechanism blocking access.
  6. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies detected.
  7. No scripts, external links, or social media links detected due to minimal content.
Technical notes

Notes

The website returns an access denied error with minimal HTML content, indicating a blocking mechanism such as a WAF. No metadata, scripts, or external resources are loaded, preventing analysis of the technology stack or hosting environment. The domain WHOIS data is missing, suggesting the domain is not registered or improperly configured. No CMS or frameworks can be identified. Performance, mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO cannot be evaluated due to lack of content.
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.
