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

GoTürkiye is the official travel guide website for Türkiye, providing comprehensive tourism information, travel planning tools, and cultural insights to visitors worldwide. The website targets tourists interested in exploring Türkiye's diverse destinations, sustainable tourism options, cultural heritage, and events. It operates under the legal entity ODTU Gelistirme Vakfi Bilgi Teknolojileri Sanayi Ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, established in 2018, positioning itself as a trusted and official source for travel information. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Next.js and React, hosted with assets on Google Cloud Storage and DNS managed via Cloudflare. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and Google Maps API for location services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with room for improvement. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security headers were detected, which are areas for enhancement. Privacy and cookie policies are not present in the analyzed content, indicating a gap in compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. No contact emails or phone numbers were found, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the website is professionally designed and credible as an official tourism portal but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, enhanced security configurations, and clearer contact information to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

GoTürkiye operates as an official tourism promotion platform for Türkiye, focusing on providing detailed travel guides, event information, and sustainable tourism initiatives. Its market positioning as an official guide gives it a competitive advantage in authenticity and trust. The business model centers on content provision and partnership with hospitality providers, targeting international tourists and travel planners. The website's multilingual support and extensive content on cultural, historical, and natural attractions indicate a broad target audience. The use of Google Tag Manager suggests data-driven marketing and user engagement strategies. The absence of direct e-commerce or booking functionalities suggests a focus on information dissemination rather than transactional services. Partnerships with various subdomains indicate a broad ecosystem supporting diverse tourism segments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections active. The lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited in DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of a security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency in security governance. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces third-party tracking risks, which should be managed carefully to maintain user privacy. Overall, the site is secure for general browsing but requires enhancements to meet higher security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including support emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to enhance security transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, indicating a modern, server-side rendered React application optimized for SEO and performance. Hosting of media assets on Google Cloud Storage and DNS management via Cloudflare provide reliable infrastructure. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, integrating with Google Maps API for location-based features. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses preloading for fonts and styles to improve load times. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved to meet WCAG standards. The absence of CMS detection suggests a custom or headless CMS solution. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in image optimization and caching strategies. Overall, the technical stack is modern and scalable but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
