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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Airbnb.mx operates as a critical regional extension of Airbnb's global marketplace, targeting travelers and hosts in Mexico and Spanish-speaking markets. Its business model revolves around facilitating peer-to-peer lodging and experiences, generating revenue through service fees. The company holds a strong market position as a pioneer in the sharing economy for hospitality. The website's extensive localization, multi-language support, and integration with global Airbnb domains indicate a well-established partnership ecosystem. The presence of ISO 27001 certification and consistent branding further reinforce its credibility. Strategic growth is supported by continuous technological enhancements and user experience improvements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form handling. The use of CSRF tokens and content security policies mitigates common web vulnerabilities. Error reporting is integrated via Bugsnag, enabling proactive incident detection. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency in security governance. 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. The security score is high, but improvements could be made by publishing explicit vulnerability disclosure and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies to strengthen privacy compliance.
  5. Maintain continuous security audits and dependency management to prevent vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with extensive use of JavaScript and CSS for dynamic content rendering. Integration with third-party services like Google Tag Manager, Mapbox, and Gaode Maps enhances functionality. The site is hosted likely on AWS, ensuring scalability and reliability. Performance is optimized with deferred script loading and efficient resource management. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, supporting inclusive design. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical implementation reflects a well-maintained and modern web infrastructure with minimal technical debt.
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.
