Security report for airbnb.mx

Airbnb, Inc. · Hospitality · Mexico

Medium risk. 8 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 1 other check.

Security score

65/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.airbnb.mx is currently inaccessible due to a security or WAF blocking mechanism, as evidenced by the 'Access Denied' message served via Akamai's edgesuite.net network. This prevents any direct analysis of the website's content, metadata, or security posture. The domain is legitimately registered to Airbnb, Inc., a large enterprise operating in the hospitality sector, with consistent WHOIS data and appropriate domain age for a global brand. Due to the blocked content, no privacy policies, contact information, or business details could be extracted from the site itself. The technical infrastructure includes the use of Akamai CDN and security services, indicating a mature hosting environment. However, the inability to access the site content results in a low AI score and incomplete security and compliance assessment.

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

8 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 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

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, Inc. is a well-known global hospitality company operating an online marketplace for lodging and tourism experiences. The Mexican localized domain www.airbnb.mx aligns with their international presence. The business model focuses on peer-to-peer lodging services targeting travelers and hosts. The domain registration and WHOIS data confirm the legitimacy and consistency of the business presence in Mexico. Due to the blocked content, no further insights into local partnerships, marketing strategies, or customer engagement could be derived.

Security posture

The security posture cannot be fully assessed due to the WAF blocking the site content. The presence of Akamai's edgesuite.net suggests the use of advanced CDN and security protections. No security headers or SSL configuration details were available from the provided data. No vulnerabilities or incident response information could be identified. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, indicating a legitimate business entity with likely mature security practices, but direct evidence is unavailable.

Recommendations

  1. Provide controlled access or allow security scanning IPs to enable comprehensive security and compliance assessments.
  2. Publish or make accessible privacy, cookie, and security policies to improve transparency and compliance verification.
  3. Implement visible contact and incident response information to enhance trust and facilitate security communications.
  4. Ensure security headers and SSL configurations are publicly verifiable to demonstrate strong security posture.
  5. Maintain updated WHOIS and domain registration information to support legitimacy and trust.
Site observations

Key observations

  1. Website content is blocked by a WAF or security mechanism.
  2. No actual website content is accessible for analysis.
  3. No metadata, forms, scripts, or business content available.
  4. WHOIS data indicates legitimate registration consistent with Airbnb, Inc.
  5. Hosting via Akamai edgesuite.net suggests use of a CDN and security services.
  6. No contact information, policies, or security disclosures found on the page.
  7. Analysis incomplete due to WAF/security mechanisms. For accurate analysis, please contact guard@offseq.com
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Akamai's CDN and security platform, which likely provides robust performance and security features. However, the current blocking prevents analysis of the technology stack, CMS, frameworks, or performance metrics. No metadata, scripts, or SEO elements were accessible. The lack of accessible content limits the ability to assess mobile optimization, accessibility, or technical debt. The domain registration data is consistent with a mature enterprise-level operation.
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.
