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

The website www.farmholidays.com is a professionally designed online platform focused on promoting and facilitating farm holidays in Austria. It offers a variety of accommodation types, experiences, and holiday destinations, targeting tourists interested in nature, sustainability, and regional culture. The site features multilingual support and integrates modern web technologies such as service workers and cookie consent management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and technical setup appear trustworthy and well-maintained. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed privacy policies. Overall, the site presents a low risk but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security best practices.

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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

Farmholidays.com operates in the hospitality sector, specifically niche tourism for farm-based holidays in Austria. The business model revolves around providing accommodation booking and curated experiences, supported by gift vouchers and informational content. The platform appears to be medium-sized with consistent branding and a clear market position targeting eco-conscious and family tourists. Partnerships with related domains such as urlaubambauernhof.at suggest a broader network or brand family. The site leverages modern web technologies and tracking tools for marketing and analytics, indicating a focus on growth and user engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent management via CookieHub, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. The registration of a service worker suggests progressive web app capabilities. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. The lack of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages is a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Incident response contacts and security policies are absent, which could hinder timely handling of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels to improve incident handling readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Consider verifying and updating WHOIS domain registration information to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including ES6 JavaScript modules, service workers for offline capabilities, and CookieHub for cookie consent management. It appears to be built on the Pimcore CMS platform, which supports flexible content management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph metadata. Performance is moderate, with preloading of CSS and JS assets. No hosting provider information was identified from the content. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and explicit privacy documentation.
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.
