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. 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 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

  3. 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

Avalon Waterways operates in the transportation and hospitality sectors, focusing on river cruises. The business model centers on providing premium travel experiences with suite accommodations on river ships. Market positioning is strong within the niche of river cruises, supported by a parent company with related travel brands. The company targets affluent travelers seeking curated cruise vacations. The website's integration with social media and structured data enhances its market reach and SEO. No direct revenue streams or pricing models are disclosed on the homepage, but the presence of contact forms and phone numbers suggests a lead generation approach. Partnerships with related brands like Globus and Cosmos Vacations indicate a broader travel ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and a cookie consent banner powered by Osano, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the provided data, representing an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency for security incidents. The use of third-party scripts is standard but should be regularly audited to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Maintain transparency in data retention policies and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Angular framework, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Osano for consent management, indicating a well-structured front-end architecture. Hosting appears to leverage Azure CDN and other cloud services for performance optimization. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and contact information, improving SEO and rich results eligibility. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially on mobile devices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The presence of multiple Google Tag Manager containers suggests complex tracking setups that should be managed carefully to avoid performance degradation or privacy issues. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
