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

The website www.hotel-in-gstaad.com serves as a regional hospitality and tourism platform focused on the Gstaad area in Switzerland. It provides hotel booking services, restaurant listings, event information, and sightseeing guides tailored to tourists and travelers seeking accommodation and leisure activities in the Swiss Alps. The business model centers on facilitating bookings and promoting regional tourism, positioning itself as a specialized local service provider. The website content is professionally presented with good design quality, clear navigation, and relevant information for its target audience. Technically, the site is built on the MASCH CM Studio CMS platform, utilizing standard web technologies such as JavaScript, CSS, and jQuery UI components. While the site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use, there is room for improvement in accessibility and mobile responsiveness. The presence of a TripAdvisor conversion pixel indicates integration with third-party marketing tools, but no extensive analytics or tracking services are detected. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR. However, no explicit security headers are detected in the HTML source, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable concern, as it reduces transparency and trust in domain ownership. Despite this, the website itself appears legitimate and professional, with no signs of malicious activity or vulnerabilities visible in the content. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid foundation for a regional hospitality platform but would benefit from enhanced security practices, improved domain registration transparency, and clearer contact information to strengthen 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. 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 platform targets tourists and travelers interested in the Gstaad region, offering a curated selection of hotels, restaurants, and cultural events. Its competitive advantage lies in its regional specialization and integrated booking capabilities. Revenue likely derives from commissions or fees associated with hotel bookings and partnerships with local businesses. The absence of direct contact details and limited external partnerships suggests a small to medium-sized operation focused on local market penetration. Growth opportunities include expanding digital marketing, enhancing mobile experience, and establishing stronger partnerships with regional tourism stakeholders.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options weakens its defense against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which could impact trust. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to provide a better user experience across devices.
  4. Clarify and publish official contact information including support emails and phone numbers to increase business credibility.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain ownership transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses MASCH CM Studio CMS, a specialized content management system, with standard web technologies such as JavaScript and CSS. It includes interactive elements like date pickers and dynamic hotel search forms. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected, but mobile optimization is basic and could be enhanced. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details are evident. The site uses a TripAdvisor tracking pixel but lacks other analytics or marketing tools. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and mobile responsiveness are areas for improvement.
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.
