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

Duffel Technology Ltd. operates a sophisticated travel API platform enabling businesses, from startups to large enterprises, to search, book, and manage flights, stays, and travel ancillaries. Positioned as a leading technology provider in the travel sector, Duffel offers comprehensive developer tools, including client libraries and prebuilt components, facilitating seamless integration and user experience. The company is UK-based with a domain age consistent with its business maturity, and it maintains a professional online presence with strong branding and customer trust signals. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure with Storyblok CMS for content management. The site is fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible, with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and domain protection statuses, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no public vulnerability disclosure policy is found. Security-wise, Duffel demonstrates good practices but could enhance transparency by publishing incident response contacts and security.txt files. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website reflects a mature, trustworthy business with a strong technical foundation and compliance awareness. Strategically, Duffel should consider enabling DNSSEC, formalizing vulnerability disclosure, and expanding incident response visibility to further strengthen security and trust. These steps will support continued growth and reassure enterprise clients of their commitment to security 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. 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 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 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

Duffel holds a strong market position as a travel API provider targeting businesses that want to sell travel products without building complex infrastructure. Their business model focuses on providing APIs for flights, stays, and ancillary services, enabling clients like challenger banks and spend management platforms to integrate travel booking capabilities. The company showcases a robust partnership ecosystem with notable clients and emphasizes developer experience through extensive documentation and client libraries. Growth indicators include customer success stories and a clear focus on innovation with new components like ancillaries. Duffel’s UK base and domain longevity support its credibility in the competitive travel technology market.

Security posture

Duffel exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain statuses preventing unauthorized transfers or deletions. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. No security.txt or explicit incident response contacts were found, which could limit vulnerability reporting efficiency. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating good data protection practices. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, Duffel maintains a secure environment appropriate for handling travel booking data but should enhance transparency and DNS security to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information on the security or contact pages.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance marketing transparency by disclosing any advertising or tracking technologies used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Next.js and React, ensuring server-side rendering and fast performance. Storyblok CMS is used for content management, enabling flexible and scalable content delivery. Hosting is via Google Cloud DNS, providing reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Performance is fast with preloading and deferred scripts. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust, scalable, and user-friendly 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.
