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

Benchmark Resorts & Hotels operates a professional hospitality website showcasing distinct resorts and hotels in iconic destinations. The company positions itself as a premium experiential hospitality provider offering personalized guest services. The website is built on the ProcessWire CMS and leverages modern technologies including Google Tag Manager, Flip.to marketing tools, and Adobe DTM for digital marketing management. The site is hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring good performance and availability. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and a consent management platform (Osano) implemented, though explicit security headers and policies are not evident. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which impacts overall trust. No privacy or cookie policies were detected in the provided content, and no direct contact information is available, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is well-designed and functional but would benefit from enhanced compliance and transparency measures.

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

6 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 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  4. 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

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

The company targets travelers seeking upscale resort and hotel experiences, focusing on experiential hospitality. The business model revolves around managing and marketing resort and hotel properties. The website's market position is premium, emphasizing distinct and iconic destinations. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of visible business contact details and privacy policies may affect customer trust and regulatory compliance. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies from the data provided. The company appears to be medium-sized based on website sophistication and marketing investments.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a consent management platform, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which is a missed opportunity for transparency and security culture. The WHOIS data absence is a significant risk factor, as domain legitimacy cannot be verified. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with better header implementation, published policies, and verified domain registration.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident reporting.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Configure and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Verify and maintain accurate WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with ProcessWire CMS, Google Tag Manager, Flip.to marketing tools, Adobe DTM, and AWS Cloudfront CDN. The site loads multiple external scripts asynchronously, improving performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO is supported by structured data and meta tags. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. No critical technical issues or outdated libraries were detected. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple third-party integrations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header configurations.
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.
