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

ED Hotels (Edhotels OÜ) is a small Estonian company specializing in web design and a proprietary hotel sales and management system called BOUK. The company targets hospitality providers such as hotels, guest apartments, and other accommodation services primarily in Estonia and neighboring countries. Their market position is that of an established regional player with a decade-plus history and a loyal client base. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern analytics and marketing integrations including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and MailerLite, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy, but the professional website content and client testimonials support business credibility. Overall, the site is well-designed, user-friendly, and compliant with GDPR requirements.

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

5 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 operates a SaaS and web design business model focused on the hospitality sector, offering a booking and management system (BOUK) alongside website creation services. Their revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, custom web design projects, and integration services. The target customers are small to medium-sized accommodation providers seeking direct booking capabilities and online presence. The company has a strong partnership ecosystem, including client sites integrated with BOUK. Growth indicators include multi-country client references and ongoing product development. Strategic observations highlight a focus on user experience, client support, and regional market specialization.

Security posture

ED Hotels demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented with detailed cookie categorization. Tracking and analytics scripts are used extensively but responsibly with user consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which could be enhanced to improve security culture and readiness. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and improve incident response readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider verifying and publishing domain WHOIS data to improve trust and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress-based infrastructure with a variety of JavaScript libraries and plugins for UI/UX enhancements such as sliders (noUiSlider), carousels (Swiper), animations (AOS), and zoom effects. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and MailerLite for email marketing. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized using Yoast SEO. Performance is moderate, with external dependencies on Google Fonts and multiple third-party scripts. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected, but security header implementation could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found.
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.
