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

Hollywood Travel is a family-run coach travel company based in Birmingham, UK, offering a range of services including coach holidays, day trips, school trips, private hire, corporate hire, and airport transfers. The company emphasizes local and nationwide travel with over three decades of experience, positioning itself as a trusted small business in the transportation sector. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and contact information. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, Cookiebot for consent management, and Google Analytics for visitor tracking. The site is hosted on a CDN platform likely associated with the Mono CMS, providing moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via hCaptcha; however, explicit security headers are missing, and no public security policy or incident response information is available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a visible cookie consent mechanism and a privacy policy page. The lack of WHOIS data due to domain registration issues limits full trust verification of the domain, though the website content and contact details appear legitimate. Overall, the site is functional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, suitable for its business purpose.

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

Hollywood Travel operates in the transportation sector, focusing on coach hire and travel services primarily in the West Midlands and nationwide UK. Its business model revolves around providing coach transportation for holidays, day trips, school outings, private events, corporate clients, and airport transfers. The company targets local residents and groups seeking convenient and comfortable travel options. The firm leverages a family-run business reputation and long-standing market presence to maintain competitive advantage. The website supports customer engagement through clear service descriptions, contact channels, and social media presence. No evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries was found. The company appears to maintain a focused and localized operational scope with potential for growth in group travel and corporate segments.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and the use of hCaptcha to mitigate bot traffic. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating attention to privacy and regulatory compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended HTTP headers and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Mono CMS platform, utilizing JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Cookiebot for cookie management and consent. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking with anonymized IPs and consent-based loading. The site uses a CDN for asset delivery, contributing to moderate performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. The site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit performance optimization indicators but overall presents a modern and functional technical infrastructure suitable for a small business website.
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.
