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

Italy Hotels operates as an established online hotel booking platform specializing in accommodations throughout Italy. The website offers a broad inventory of over 20,000 hotels, targeting travelers seeking convenient and comprehensive booking options. The platform integrates interactive features such as maps and sliders to enhance user experience. Technically, the site employs a traditional web stack with jQuery, jQuery UI, and other JavaScript libraries, some of which are outdated and may pose security risks. The site is mobile-optimized and includes basic SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate, with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and updated libraries. Privacy and cookie policies are present, indicating GDPR awareness, though contact information and incident response details are not publicly available. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from technical and security improvements.

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.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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

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 behind Italy Hotels, Faiat Service srl, positions itself as a significant player in the Italian hospitality sector, offering a large-scale hotel booking service. The business model focuses on online reservations, leveraging partnerships with hotel providers and integrating third-party booking engines like Vertical Booking. The target market includes domestic and international tourists seeking Italian accommodations. The presence of national hotel agreements and a dedicated extranet for hotels suggests a well-developed partner ecosystem. While the site lacks direct contact details, it maintains standard legal and privacy documentation, supporting business credibility. Growth potential exists through modernization of technology and enhanced security and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS usage and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the use of outdated JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7.1 introduces potential vulnerabilities. The absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security or incident response policies are found, limiting transparency. Forms are present but lack visible advanced security controls such as CSRF tokens in the provided content. The site would benefit from updating dependencies, implementing security headers, and publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and verify security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Add explicit CSRF protections and input validation on all forms to prevent common web attacks.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed cookie and data retention policies and improving consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack with jQuery, jQuery UI, Modernizr, Flexslider, and PrettyPhoto for UI components and effects. It integrates with Vertical Booking for reservation management. The site loads Google Fonts and Google Analytics for typography and analytics respectively. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. However, some JavaScript libraries are outdated, which could introduce security risks. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading but could be improved by updating libraries and optimizing assets. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and labels but could be enhanced. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured autocomplete but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
