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

6 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  3. 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 business operates in the hospitality sector as an important entity focusing on luxury travel and hotel booking referrals. Its market positioning is niche, targeting affluent travelers seeking curated luxury accommodations. The business model relies on providing independent hotel reviews and facilitating bookings through affiliate or partner links. The company maintains a global team headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, and offers content in multiple languages to cater to an international audience. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive, trustworthy content and refusal to accept paid placements, enhancing credibility. Revenue streams likely include affiliate commissions from bookings. The company shows growth potential through its multilingual approach and curated content strategy. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent banner supporting GDPR compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, indicating limited formal incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries are detected in the HTML content. The absence of phone contact or detailed security policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and user trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small online directory but could benefit from enhanced security controls and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness for security incidents.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding verified phone contact and physical address details to bolster business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with Google Fonts for typography, SVG-based LivIcons for scalable icons, and Leaflet for map tiles integration. It leverages Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and supports multiple languages via subdomains. Performance is moderate with external CSS and JS loaded from a dedicated static subdomain. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains good SEO practices with meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional user experience but could be enhanced with improved accessibility and security configurations.
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.
