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

Marriott Vacations Worldwide operates as a premium hospitality and vacation ownership company, focusing on developing expansive and immersive vacation and leisure experiences. The company positions itself as a leader in premium resort development and innovative travel options, targeting travelers and vacationers seeking quality leisure services. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and SEO optimization. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using the Kadence theme and integrates modern technologies such as Brightcove video player and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website's professional appearance and content mitigate immediate risks. Overall, the site scores well in business credibility and technical implementation but should enhance privacy compliance and security practices to strengthen trust and compliance.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 sector with a focus on vacation ownership and resort development. Its business model revolves around providing premium vacation experiences and travel options, likely generating revenue through resort sales, memberships, and travel services. The target audience includes leisure travelers and vacation seekers. The website's use of structured data and SEO tools suggests a strategic approach to market visibility. The lack of visible contact phone numbers and limited contact emails may indicate a preference for controlled communication channels. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified, suggesting a focused brand presence. The company's market position appears strong within its niche, supported by professional branding and content quality.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, which is a fundamental security measure. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement in mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or security policy information is available, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The site uses third-party scripts including Google Tag Manager and Brightcove, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible cookie consent mechanisms or detailed privacy policies, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to align with best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR and other privacy regulation compliance.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.
  4. Establish and publish clear incident response and security contact information to improve security readiness and trust.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Kadence theme, which is known for performance and flexibility. Integration of Brightcove video player indicates advanced multimedia capabilities. SEO is enhanced through the Rank Math plugin, and Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility at a basic level. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multimedia content and third-party scripts. There is no explicit hosting provider information detected. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features to reduce technical debt and regulatory risks.
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.
