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

6 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. 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 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

The hotel operates in the luxury hospitality industry with a focus on exclusive guest experiences, including gourmet dining and wellness. Its business model leverages direct bookings and event hosting, supported by partnerships such as Porsche Drive Rental. The company maintains active social media channels and uses advanced marketing tools to engage its target audience. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital strategy aimed at reinforcing brand prestige and customer loyalty. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The presence of a Michelin-starred restaurant and comprehensive service offerings highlight competitive advantages in the regional luxury market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with enforced HTTPS and a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate common web threats. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly disclosed incident response or security policy, which could be beneficial for transparency and preparedness. The integration of third-party marketing and analytics scripts is managed with user consent, aligning with privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the hospitality sector but could be enhanced with further hardening measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers including Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense against common attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated or vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, indicating a flexible and widely supported infrastructure. The use of jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries supports interactive features and animations. Performance is moderate with optimizations such as image preloading and lazy loading evident. SEO is well addressed through meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data, enhancing search engine visibility and social media sharing. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive content. The site uses external marketing and analytics services, including Google Analytics and Additive Apps, with proper consent mechanisms. Technical risks are minimal but include potential dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing 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.
