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

Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences is a well-established hospitality group offering a broad portfolio of hotels, residences, and premium camping sites across several European countries including Austria, Italy, Croatia, Czech Republic, Montenegro, and Slovakia. The website is professionally designed with rich content targeting families, couples, sports enthusiasts, and city travelers. It integrates direct booking and loyalty programs, enhancing customer engagement and retention. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies and is hosted on Cloudflare and AWS infrastructure, ensuring good performance and scalability. However, the security posture is weakened by an invalid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support, which are critical issues that must be addressed to protect user data and maintain trust. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, reflecting a commitment to data protection. Overall, the site is credible and trustworthy but requires urgent SSL remediation to improve security.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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 holds a strong market position in the European hospitality sector with a diversified portfolio of services including wellness, family vacations, sports, and city hotels. Their business model focuses on direct bookings supported by loyalty programs and exclusive offers, which likely contribute to stable revenue streams. The website's multilingual support and extensive hotel listings indicate a broad target audience. Partnerships with TravelClick and Amadeus highlight integration with leading hospitality technology providers, enhancing operational efficiency. The presence of supplier portals and media resources suggests a mature organizational structure. Growth indicators include new projects and premium collection launches. The company maintains active social media channels to engage customers and promote brand awareness.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices such as strict transport security headers, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant vulnerabilities that expose users to potential data interception and undermine HTTPS trust. No evidence of incident response or security policy pages was found, indicating possible gaps in transparency and preparedness. The site uses third-party analytics and personalization tools, which necessitate careful data handling to maintain compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires immediate improvements in SSL/TLS configuration to meet industry standards and protect customer data.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately renew and properly configure the SSL certificate to enable HTTPS.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to ensure secure communications.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, Moment.js, and EJS templating, hosted on Cloudflare and AWS CloudFront CDN for performance and reliability. It integrates with TravelClick booking engines and uses Galaxy CMS for content management. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance metrics are moderate, with caching enabled via CloudFront. However, the invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent technical debt and security risks. The site uses multiple third-party analytics and personalization services, which require ongoing management to balance functionality and privacy.
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.
