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

Collette is a well-established guided tour operator based in the United States, offering a wide range of curated travel packages and vacation tours globally. The company targets travelers seeking immersive and feature-rich guided travel experiences, including small group explorations, cruising, faith-based journeys, and private tours. Their market position is strong, supported by extensive content, customer reviews, and active social media engagement. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including Bootstrap, FontAwesome, Swiper JS, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as HubSpot, Datadog RUM, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a professional user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and uses secure practices such as masked user input and Google reCAPTCHA. However, it lacks some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options, and does not publicly disclose security policies or incident response procedures. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and reduces trustworthiness despite the professional site presentation. Overall, the website is secure, professional, and compliant with privacy regulations, but the absence of WHOIS data and explicit security policies suggests areas for improvement in transparency and security posture.

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. 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

  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

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

Collette operates in the hospitality and transportation sectors as a guided tour operator with a large-scale business model. Their revenue streams likely include tour bookings, travel packages, and ancillary services such as travel protection and virtual events. The company targets a broad demographic of travelers interested in guided and curated travel experiences worldwide. Their partnership ecosystem includes integrations with marketing and analytics platforms but no explicit partner domains were identified. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust indicators such as customer reviews and social media presence, supporting a competitive market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, use of Google reCAPTCHA, and masking of user inputs in analytics tools. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers and does not provide publicly accessible security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a notable gap in domain registration transparency, which impacts overall trust. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies. The security culture appears adequate but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS and data injection risks.
  2. Add X-Content-Type-Options and Referrer-Policy headers to improve security and privacy.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible from the website footer or legal section.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technical infrastructure with Bootstrap for responsive design, FontAwesome for icons, and Swiper JS for interactive elements. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including HubSpot, Datadog RUM, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Segment Analytics, indicating a high level of digital maturity. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The CMS appears to be HubSpot, which supports marketing automation and content management. There is an opportunity to improve security headers and reduce technical debt by consolidating scripts and optimizing load times.
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.
