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

The website www.hotel-crete.net serves as an online booking platform specializing in hotels, apartments, villas, and other accommodations in Crete, Greece. It targets travelers and tourists seeking lodging options with a broad catalog of properties categorized by star rating, location, and thematic preferences. The platform supports multiple languages and currencies, enhancing accessibility for international users. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Fonts, and Swiper.js for interactive carousels. The design is professional and mobile-optimized, providing a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. However, the site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, terms of service, and explicit contact information, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Security posture is moderate with no visible security headers or incident response policies, and SSL configuration details are not provided. Overall, the site is functional and business credible but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

The NIS2 figure counts only evidence anyone can see from the internet. 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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      hotel-crete.net publishes no SPF record, so receiving servers cannot tell which servers may send mail as this domain.

      What to do: Publish one TXT record listing your mail providers, for example "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourprovider.com -all". A domain that sends no mail should publish "v=spf1 -all".

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      There is no DMARC record at _dmarc.hotel-crete.net, so receivers have no instruction for mail that fails SPF and DKIM.

      What to do: Publish a TXT record at _dmarc.hotel-crete.net, starting with "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@hotel-crete.net" and moving to p=quarantine or p=reject once reports look clean.

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.
  • Accessibility: Accessibility is a separate readout from security, so it is reported but not scored. 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 platform operates as an essential entity in the hospitality sector, focusing on the Crete market. It offers a comprehensive range of accommodation types and thematic hotel categories, positioning itself as a versatile booking solution. The business model is commission or booking fee-based, although it advertises no booking fees and pay-at-hotel options, which may appeal to cost-conscious travelers. The multi-language and multi-currency features indicate a strategy to attract a diverse international clientele. The absence of detailed company information and contact data limits transparency but the extensive hotel listings and categorization suggest a mature operational presence. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive inventory and user-friendly search capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS likely enabled (inferred from canonical URLs using https), but no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the provided content. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response contact information, which are essential for GDPR compliance and security incident management. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Forms are present for hotel search but no explicit security measures or input sanitization details are visible. The lack of contact emails or phone numbers for security or abuse reporting reduces incident response readiness. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and establishing clear security incident contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Conduct a security audit to ensure SSL/TLS configuration is strong and forms are protected against injection and other attacks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including Google Fonts for typography and Swiper.js for interactive image carousels. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and supports multiple languages and currencies, indicating a well-developed internationalization strategy. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous CSS loading. Accessibility is basic with some semantic HTML elements but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. SEO is supported by meta tags for keywords, description, and canonical URLs. No CMS or backend technologies were explicitly detected. Hosting provider and server details are not available from the provided data.
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.
