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

4 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 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. 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

  3. 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 platform holds a solid market position as a niche vacation rental provider in Germany and Europe, leveraging a large inventory of private listings. Its business model centers on connecting private property owners with travelers, generating revenue likely through listing fees or commissions. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and trust signals such as Google site verification and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital self-service. The partnership ecosystem includes social media presence on Facebook and use of privacy-conscious analytics. Growth potential lies in expanding listings and enhancing user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. Use of Matomo analytics reflects privacy-conscious data collection. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Introduce a security.txt file to provide a clear vulnerability disclosure channel.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly update third-party libraries and CMS components to mitigate risks from outdated software.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a front-end leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. Additional libraries include Font Awesome for icons, Moment.js for date handling, Owl Carousel for sliders, and Isotope for layout management. Hosting is supported by AWS DNS services, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated, supporting a good user experience and scalability.
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.
