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

ContrasTravel is a specialized travel agency focusing on sustainable and authentic travel experiences in northern Europe and the North Atlantic region, including destinations such as Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. The company offers a variety of travel types including group tours, individual trips, and specialized excursions, emphasizing environmental responsibility and personalized service. Their market position is that of a niche provider with a strong commitment to sustainability and customer experience. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS, uses modern JavaScript modules, and integrates Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security policy documentation could be improved. Overall, the website is professional, well-structured, and compliant with GDPR, supporting a trustworthy business presence. The WHOIS data is missing or not publicly available, which is unusual but the website content and business information suggest legitimacy.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

The company targets environmentally conscious travelers interested in northern destinations, offering both group and individual travel options. Their business model revolves around curated travel experiences with a focus on sustainability, leveraging partnerships such as atmosfair for carbon offsetting. The website content and certifications like TourCert reinforce their credibility. The presence of a booking partner domain indicates an integrated service ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding sustainable travel offerings and digital engagement. The company maintains active social media channels and a blog to engage customers and provide travel insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and a consent management platform for cookies and tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but explicit data protection officer contact details are not found. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing more detailed security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Include data protection officer contact details if applicable to enhance GDPR transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information to ensure domain registration transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and widely used content management system. It uses modern JavaScript ES6 modules and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with optimized images and structured content. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a professional user experience.
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.
