Risk levelMedium

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

Europa Group Hotels operates a regional hospitality business with multiple hotels and related services across Lithuania, Latvia, and Romania. Their website presents booking options, hotel information, and special offers targeting travelers seeking accommodation and hospitality services in these regions. The business model focuses on hotel accommodation, conference centers, restaurants, and spa services, positioning Europa Group Hotels as a medium-sized player in the Baltic and Romanian hospitality market. Technically, the website relies on outdated technologies such as Flash and an old version of jQuery, with visible server-side errors indicating poor error handling and potential security risks. The site uses HTTPS but lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which impacts privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, raising concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website requires significant technical and security improvements to enhance user experience, security posture, and compliance.

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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

Europa Group Hotels targets travelers in the Baltic states and Romania, offering a portfolio of hotels under brands like Europa Royale and Europa City. Their competitive advantage lies in regional presence and diversified hospitality services including conference and spa facilities. The business model is primarily service-based hospitality with revenue from bookings and events. The website indicates partnerships with secure booking platforms, suggesting a collaborative ecosystem. However, the lack of visible contact information and incomplete compliance documentation may hinder customer trust and growth. The company appears to be medium-sized with moderate branding consistency but lacks modern digital maturity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a low to moderate security maturity level. Key vulnerabilities include visible PHP warnings that expose server-side information, use of deprecated Flash technology, and outdated JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms further weakens the security posture and privacy compliance. HTTPS is used, which is a positive factor, but overall security best practices are not fully implemented. There is no evidence of incident response or security policy documentation. These gaps increase the risk of exploitation and reduce user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Fix all PHP warnings and errors to prevent information leakage and improve site stability.
  2. Remove deprecated Flash content and replace it with modern HTML5 or JavaScript-based alternatives.
  3. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  6. Clarify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.
  7. Add clear contact information including emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer support.
  8. Conduct a full security audit and implement an incident response plan and security policy documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on legacy technologies including jQuery 1.3.2 and Flash, which are outdated and pose security and compatibility risks. The presence of multiple PHP warnings in the HTML output indicates poor error handling and potential exposure of sensitive server information. The site uses HTTPS as indicated by the base href, but no security headers are detected, reducing protection against common web attacks. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, and performance is likely slow due to legacy scripts and Flash content. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. The booking forms collect user data but lack visible advanced security controls. Overall, the technical infrastructure requires modernization to improve security, performance, and user experience.
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.
