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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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

Economybookings operates in the transportation sector as a medium-sized business with approximately 17 years of market presence. Its business model revolves around aggregating car rental offers from over 600 suppliers, including major brands like Sixt, Europcar, and Hertz, providing customers with competitive pricing and convenience. The company leverages strong trust signals such as high Trustpilot ratings and industry awards to maintain market credibility. Its global reach and multilingual support position it well for international travelers. The lack of visible direct contact information and missing WHOIS data suggest areas for enhanced corporate transparency and customer trust reinforcement.

Security posture

The website employs robust security measures including HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a mature security posture. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure channels limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident management. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party scripts and analytics is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Enhancing security documentation and providing clear security contacts would strengthen the overall security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear and verified contact information including security and support emails and phone numbers.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy disclosures to align with GDPR and other regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile responsiveness. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, alongside Cookiebot for cookie consent management. The site features well-structured metadata, Open Graph tags, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO optimization. The technical implementation includes accessibility considerations and a clean, professional design. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly identified but the use of CDN domains suggests a distributed content delivery approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with scalable and maintainable architecture.
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.
