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

2 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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 and transportation sectors as an essential business entity. It offers a broad range of travel-related services including flight and hotel packages, standalone flights, hotels, car rentals, and transfers. The site targets general consumers looking for travel bargains and last minute deals. The business model is that of an OTA, generating revenue through bookings and partnerships. The presence of multiple language versions and country-specific domains indicates a broad international footprint. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and multiple awards, positioning it competitively in the travel market. Partnerships with transfer and voucher services enhance its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and uses modern security best practices such as asynchronous script loading and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. The use of third-party tracking and marketing tools is extensive, which requires careful privacy management. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and security header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and disclose a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility including customer support and security contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including React components, HubPink CMS, and AWS hosting infrastructure. It uses Google Tag Manager, AppsFlyer, and Tealium for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and preloading of images for performance. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and asset management. The technical implementation supports a scalable and maintainable platform suitable for a large travel business.
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.
