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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The company operates in the hospitality sector with a focus on hotel accommodation and group bookings. Its market positioning as the newest hotel in Arendal city center provides a competitive advantage. The business model relies on direct online bookings and group reservations, supported by a partnership with Mews for booking management. The website's content and social media links indicate active engagement with customers and transparency. The absence of terms of service or detailed security policies suggests room for improvement in formalizing business and security practices. The company appears small-sized with a focused local market presence and no visible parent or subsidiary companies.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not evident in the provided data, representing an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the site is secure for typical hospitality business operations but would benefit from formal security documentation and header hardening.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to maintain compliance and security posture.

Notes
The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging jQuery and third-party libraries such as Fancybox for UI enhancements. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing purposes, with a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner. The booking system is integrated via Mews API, indicating a modern approach to hospitality management. Performance is moderate with standard optimizations, and mobile responsiveness is good. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin metadata and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No hosting provider details were found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small hospitality 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.
