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

Away Resorts is a UK-based hospitality company operating 25 holiday parks across multiple regions including Cornwall, Dorset, Hampshire, and Scotland. They offer a variety of accommodation options such as caravans, luxury lodges, holiday homes, and touring & camping pitches. The company targets families and holidaymakers seeking quality UK holiday experiences with a focus on comfort and convenience. Their market position is strong within the UK holiday park sector, supported by a professional and well-structured website that facilitates bookings and holiday home ownership inquiries. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript frameworks, cloud hosting via Microsoft Azure, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, and AB Tasty. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and SEO, providing a smooth user experience. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, but lacks a publicly available security policy or incident response contact details. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to a naming rules error from Nominet UK, but the website is fully functional and professional, indicating legitimacy. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and security posture, with minor penalties for missing security transparency and incomplete WHOIS data. Strategic recommendations include publishing a security policy, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing incident response visibility to improve trust and compliance.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  2. 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 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';…

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

Away Resorts operates a large-scale hospitality business focused on UK holiday parks, offering diverse accommodation and ownership options. Their business model combines direct holiday bookings with holiday home sales, targeting families and leisure travelers. The company maintains a broad geographic footprint across the UK, enhancing market reach and customer choice. Their digital presence is mature, with integrated marketing and analytics tools supporting customer acquisition and engagement. The absence of detailed WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not detract from the company's established market presence. The company appears to have a solid partnership ecosystem with third-party service providers for analytics, marketing, and live chat support. Growth indicators include seasonal offers and a comprehensive holiday home ownership program. The website content and structure reflect a customer-centric approach with clear navigation and detailed service information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and may impact customer trust. There is no evidence of GDPR non-compliance, and privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces a moderate tracking footprint, which is managed with privacy policies. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance business credibility by including verified contact emails and phone numbers prominently on the site.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript bundles, asynchronous script loading, and cloud-based CDN hosting via Azure. It integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and customer support, such as Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, AB Tasty, and LiveChat. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement and provides responsive design optimized for mobile devices. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and images, and critical CSS delivery. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA roles and keyboard navigation improvements. The technical infrastructure is robust and scalable, supporting a large user base and complex booking workflows.
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.
