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

Airbnb is a leading global online marketplace specializing in vacation rentals, unique accommodations, and travel experiences. The company operates a large-scale platform connecting travelers with hosts worldwide, offering millions of listings across more than 220 countries. The website is professionally designed, multilingual, and optimized for mobile devices, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Technically, Airbnb employs modern web technologies such as React and integrates analytics and error tracking tools like Google Tag Manager and Bugsnag, ensuring robust performance and monitoring capabilities. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, CSRF protection, and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. Overall, Airbnb's website demonstrates high trustworthiness, excellent user experience, and compliance with privacy regulations including GDPR. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for a company of this scale. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies to enhance transparency 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.

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

Airbnb holds a dominant position in the hospitality and real estate sectors by leveraging a peer-to-peer business model that facilitates short-term lodging and experiences. Its revenue streams primarily come from service fees charged to guests and hosts. The platform targets a broad audience including leisure and business travelers, as well as property owners and experience providers. Airbnb's extensive global presence and multilingual support indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem and operational maturity. The company benefits from strong brand recognition, consistent branding, and a comprehensive digital marketing strategy. Growth indicators include continuous expansion of listings and services, as well as innovation in travel experiences. The lack of explicit contact information on the homepage suggests a focus on digital self-service and automated support channels.

Security posture

Airbnb's website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of security headers, and integration of error monitoring tools. The use of CSRF tokens and secure form handling indicates attention to common web vulnerabilities. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and may impact stakeholder confidence. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. To further strengthen security posture, Airbnb should consider publishing detailed security documentation and providing dedicated security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact or team for security issues.
  3. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing clear business contact information for support and compliance inquiries.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern front-end technologies including React and JavaScript, with CSS for styling. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and Bugsnag for error tracking, indicating a sophisticated monitoring setup. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but is likely a major cloud provider given the scale and performance. The site uses canonical and hreflang tags for SEO optimization across multiple languages and regions. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with scalability and reliability.
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.
