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.

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 company operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on hotel accommodation and food services. It leverages online booking forms and social media channels to engage customers. The business model is direct-to-consumer hospitality services with additional offerings like room rental for events and solarium access. The presence of guest review awards and certifications enhances credibility. The website's multilingual support broadens its reach to local and international tourists. Partnerships with marketing agencies are evident. The company appears to be a small-sized local business with no visible parent or subsidiary companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and forms use captcha to prevent automated abuse. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML source. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is addressed with a privacy policy and cookie consent banner. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery 3.7.0, skrollr for parallax effects, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Snowplow for analytics. It is hosted on a CDN-backed platform (static.cdn-website.com) with good performance and mobile optimization. The CMS is multiscreensite.com, which provides multilingual support and integrated form handling with captcha. The site uses Mapbox for map embedding and includes social media integrations. While the technical implementation is solid, there is room for improvement in security headers and accessibility compliance. The site loads scripts asynchronously and uses deferred loading for some resources, indicating attention to performance.
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.
