Risk levelMedium

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

Holiday Media is a specialized internet service provider focused on the Dutch recreation and travel sector, delivering website design, maintenance, and online booking integration to over 250 clients. Their market position is strong within this niche, supported by a professional website, client testimonials, and active social media presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Tag Manager, custom fonts, and responsive design, indicating a moderate to good level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and secure login forms, though lacking in explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-targeted to its audience, but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

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

Holiday Media operates as a small-sized technology service provider within the hospitality and recreation sector in the Netherlands. Their business model centers on providing tailored web solutions and marketing services to campings, vacation parks, and rental organizations. The company leverages partnerships and maintains a customer support portal and webmail services, indicating a mature operational setup. Their competitive advantage lies in deep sector knowledge and integrated booking system capabilities. Growth indicators include a broad client base and active content marketing via blogs and social media. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance and security posture to maintain trust and meet evolving regulatory requirements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS and secure form inputs. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are available, which may impact incident handling readiness. Privacy compliance gaps, notably the lack of cookie consent, expose potential regulatory risks under GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript with jQuery, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Custom web fonts and responsive design enhance user experience across devices. The CMS is not explicitly identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is moderate with some deferred loading of images and scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of explicit privacy controls, which could impact compliance and security posture.
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.
