Gran Canaria Official Tourism · Hospitality · Spain

Partial score · DNS & email only

75/100

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

Gran Canaria's official tourism website serves as a comprehensive portal for visitors seeking information about the island's attractions, accommodations, climate, and cultural events. The site is positioned as an authoritative source for tourism-related content, targeting travelers interested in the Canary Islands. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with Bootstrap for responsive design and integrates Google Maps and social media tracking pixels, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and incident response information, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, although the website's professional presentation and content quality support its credibility. Overall, the site is functional and trustworthy but could enhance its security posture and transparency to strengthen user trust.

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

1 finding 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.

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.

  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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.

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 website operates within the hospitality sector, specifically tourism promotion for Gran Canaria, Spain. It leverages official branding and targets international tourists with multilingual content and detailed travel information. The business model focuses on information dissemination rather than direct sales, supporting local tourism stakeholders indirectly. The presence of multiple external integrations such as Cookiebot and Elfsight widgets suggests a strategy to enhance user engagement and data-driven marketing. The lack of explicit business contact details and WHOIS transparency may limit direct business inquiries but aligns with a public information portal model. The site’s partnerships with major platforms like Google and Facebook indicate a well-established digital marketing ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program suggests limited transparency in security governance. Enhancing these areas would improve the site's resilience and user trust, especially given its role as an official tourism information source.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user confidence.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add visible and verified contact information to facilitate user support and business inquiries.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to minimize potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with Bootstrap 4.4.1 for responsive design. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and employs Facebook Pixel and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted domains, indicating a well-structured third-party integration strategy. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility features. The absence of visible hosting provider information limits infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
