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

Flipo.at is an established online travel agency specializing in flight ticket bookings, hotel reservations, and car rentals primarily targeting German-speaking customers in Austria. The company, operating under pelicantravel.com s.r.o., leverages over 20 years of experience and serves more than 3 million satisfied customers, positioning itself as a trusted player in the transportation sector. The website offers a comprehensive user experience with clear navigation, multiple language and currency options, and a modern design tailored for desktop and mobile users. Technically, the site employs a modern AngularJS framework combined with various analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, New Relic, and Exponea. The infrastructure appears robust with CDN usage and good mobile optimization. However, some security best practices like explicit security headers are not visibly implemented, and no public security policy or incident response information is provided. From a security and compliance perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, provides a detailed cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR, and displays trust badges including IATA membership and PCI compliance. Contact information is transparent and accessible, enhancing business credibility. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust analysis but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy based on website content and trust signals. Overall, Flipo.at demonstrates a mature digital presence with strong business credibility and good security posture, though improvements in security transparency and WHOIS data availability could further enhance trust and compliance standing.

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 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. 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

Flipo.at operates in the competitive online travel agency market, focusing on flight, hotel, and car rental bookings. Its competitive advantages include a long-standing market presence, extensive partnerships with over 800 airlines, and a large customer base exceeding 3 million users. The business model is commission-based, leveraging affiliate marketing and direct bookings. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, hotel bookings, car rentals, and gift voucher sales. The target customer segment is primarily German-speaking travelers in Austria and neighboring countries. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including related Pelikan brand sites across Central Europe. Growth indicators include active marketing campaigns, app availability, and continuous special offers. Strategic observations suggest a focus on user experience, multi-channel marketing, and compliance with European data protection regulations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS usage and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. The presence of PCI and IATA logos indicates adherence to industry standards for payment security and travel regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts represent gaps in transparency and defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site uses reputable analytics and marketing tools, which may increase tracking but are managed with user consent. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented, suggesting room for improvement in security communication and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response procedures and contact channels.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Improve WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details to enhance trustworthiness.
  5. Continue to maintain and enhance GDPR compliance and user privacy controls, including clear data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on AngularJS with a modern frontend architecture supported by various third-party scripts for analytics, marketing, and user experience enhancements. The use of Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, New Relic, and Exponea indicates a mature approach to data-driven marketing and performance monitoring. The site is hosted on infrastructure associated with pelikan.sk, likely using CDN services for content delivery. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility at a basic level. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt may exist due to AngularJS usage, which is an older framework, suggesting potential modernization opportunities. No critical technical risks were identified that would impact business operations currently.
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.
