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 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. 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

Danhostel holds a strong market position as a leading hostel network in Denmark, leveraging geographic coverage and diverse service offerings including leisure, group travel, and conference facilities. The business model focuses on affordable lodging with additional revenue streams from group bookings and event hosting. The company benefits from partnerships with recognized platforms like Hostelling International and uses established ad networks for marketing. The website content and metadata are well-structured to attract its target audience, though direct contact information is not prominently displayed in the analyzed HTML. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and enhancing direct customer communication channels.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses Cookiebot to manage user consent, reflecting compliance with GDPR. Integration of Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics is transparent and controlled via consent. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, which could be a gap in transparency. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly confirmed and should be implemented to harden defenses. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with room for improvement in policy disclosure and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies with contact channels to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update accordingly.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and provide clearer contact information for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Develop a long-term security strategy including vulnerability disclosure and data protection officer contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS with a modern frontend stack including jQuery UI and Owl Carousel. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive meta tags and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, ensuring full content accessibility. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility improvements could be addressed to modernize and strengthen the platform.
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.
