Risk levelMedium

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

Holiday Media is a specialized internet service provider focusing on the Dutch recreation and travel sector, delivering website design, maintenance, and integration with booking systems to over 250 clients. Their market position is that of a niche expert with a strong local presence and a comprehensive service offering including internet marketing, photography, and videography. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, and a proprietary CMS, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and secure forms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms such as cookie consent banners. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy, with clear contact information and social media presence.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

  2. 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 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';…

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 company operates in the technology sector serving the recreation industry in the Netherlands. Their business model revolves around providing tailored web solutions and marketing services to campings, holiday parks, and rental organizations. The presence of testimonials and a KvK registration number enhances credibility. The company leverages partnerships through dedicated support and webmail subdomains. Growth indicators include a broad client base and active content marketing via blogs and social media. Strategic observations suggest a focus on integrated digital solutions and customer-centric service.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and secure data submission via forms. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms and detailed privacy policy disclosures. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the site content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  2. Add and configure security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance trust and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery 3.5.1, supported by a proprietary CMS (HMCMS). Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing analytics. The site is mobile optimized and uses responsive design techniques. Performance is moderate, with some deferred loading of images and scripts. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Technical risks include potential privacy compliance gaps and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize analytics and enhance 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.
