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

5 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

MANOVA holds a strong niche position in tourism market research and business intelligence, leveraging proprietary software and deep industry expertise. Their business model centers on providing data-driven insights and strategic marketing analytics to tourism-related clients. The company benefits from long-term client relationships and a reputation for quality and reliability. Their partnership with WEBMARK.eu for BI tools strengthens their service offering. The target audience includes tourism organizations, marketing professionals, and businesses seeking advanced data analytics. The company operates primarily in Austria and is a small-sized enterprise with consistent branding and good content quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency. The use of up-to-date libraries and plugins is implied but should be regularly verified to avoid vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which is a significant gap given GDPR requirements. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and JavaScript libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Add contact details for a Data Protection Officer or security contact to enhance trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap 3, Owl Carousel, Font Awesome, and Modernizr, indicating a mature but somewhat dated tech stack. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data. The site uses Piwik for analytics, which is privacy-friendly compared to other services. Hosting details are not explicitly detected. The site could benefit from modernization of some libraries and enhanced accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has opportunities for 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.
