Gidea Park Hotel · Hospitality · United Kingdom

Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in SSL/TLS and GDPR outside view.

Security score

76/100

Risk levelLow

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

Gidea Park Hotel is a small, family-run hospitality business located in Romford, United Kingdom, offering comfortable accommodations including rooms and serviced apartments with amenities such as free Wi-Fi, parking, breakfast, bar, meeting rooms, and EV charging. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and integrates a booking system via Cloudbeds, targeting travelers seeking convenient access to Central London. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and fonts, is mobile optimized, and employs HTTPS, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms. The WHOIS data is missing or indicates the domain is unregistered, which is inconsistent with the active website presence and warrants further investigation. Overall, the site demonstrates good business credibility and content quality but could improve privacy compliance and security posture.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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

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 hotel positions itself as a convenient and charming option near London, appealing to both leisure and business travelers. Its business model focuses on hospitality services with additional offerings such as meeting rooms and self-catering apartments. The integration with Cloudbeds suggests a modern approach to booking management. The presence of customer testimonials and clear contact details enhances trust. However, the lack of WHOIS registration data raises questions about domain ownership legitimacy. The company appears to operate independently without visible parent or subsidiary relationships.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure external resources, but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No incident response or security policy information is provided. Forms appear secure but no explicit vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are found. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add explicit cookie consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely Multiscreensite, using modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Moment.js, and Pikaday for UI components. It integrates third-party services like Cloudbeds for booking and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses CDN hosting for performance. However, some CSS and JavaScript loading strategies could be optimized further. The absence of advanced security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Overall, the infrastructure supports a good user experience but requires enhancements in security and domain management.
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.
