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

Hoburne operates a professional and well-structured website focused on self-catering holidays and holiday home ownership across UK holiday parks. The company offers a variety of accommodation options including luxury lodges, caravans, and touring pitches, targeting holidaymakers and prospective holiday home buyers. The website demonstrates a solid market position within the UK hospitality sector, with clear branding and consistent content quality. Technically, the site is built on Silverstripe CMS 6.1 and integrates modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for consent management, and Feefo for customer reviews. The site is mobile-optimized and shows good SEO and accessibility practices. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced and bot detection via Cloudflare, although some security headers are missing and no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published. The security posture is generally strong, with comprehensive cookie consent and privacy policies that indicate GDPR compliance. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Hoburne's website is professional and trustworthy from a user perspective, but the lack of WHOIS data and some missing security best practices suggest areas for improvement to enhance trust 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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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';…

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

Hoburne is positioned as a medium-sized hospitality business specializing in UK holiday parks and holiday home ownership. Its business model combines holiday accommodation rental with property sales, targeting families and holidaymakers seeking self-catering options. The company leverages partnerships with payment processors like Stripe and customer review platforms like Feefo to enhance service quality and trust. The website's integration of multiple marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Growth potential is supported by a diverse accommodation portfolio and clear navigation to ownership and holiday options. However, the lack of publicly available company registration and WHOIS data may impact perceived credibility among cautious customers or partners.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates Cloudflare services for bot mitigation and performance. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot with granular user controls, supporting GDPR compliance. Analytics and marketing tools are used extensively but with transparent consent mechanisms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent compliance and security gaps. No evidence of vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data was found. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies, adding security headers, and clarifying domain registration details.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain transparency and trust.
  4. Add explicit company contact emails for support and security inquiries to enhance communication channels.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Silverstripe CMS 6.1, a modern and flexible content management system. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tag management, Cookiebot for cookie consent, and Feefo for customer reviews. Payment processing is handled via Stripe integration. The site loads external resources from reputable domains and uses HTTPS exclusively, indicating good encryption practices. Mobile optimization and SEO are well implemented. However, the site lacks some security headers and explicit hosting provider information. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing third-party scripts and assets. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and transparency.
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.
