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

4 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Mint House operates in the hospitality and real estate sectors, targeting travelers seeking furnished apartments and vacation rentals. Their business model combines real estate management with technology-enabled guest services, including contactless check-in and digital concierge. The company has multiple locations in major US cities, indicating a medium-sized operation with growth potential. Press mentions and awards enhance their market credibility. The use of a dedicated reservations subdomain suggests a structured partnership or service model for booking management. Marketing efforts include email campaigns and retargeting via Klaviyo and Facebook Pixel. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a preference for contact forms and digital communication.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a reputable registrar and domain status locks, indicating good baseline security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to protect against DNS spoofing. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.12.1) may expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly mitigated. No explicit security headers beyond HTTPS were detected, and no security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published. The site uses modern analytics and marketing scripts loaded asynchronously, reducing performance impact but increasing tracking footprint. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by updating libraries, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement and explicitly configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  5. Create a security policy page including vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Yoast SEO plugin, leveraging a mix of JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.12.1, Litepicker for date selection, and multiple marketing and analytics scripts such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Klaviyo. The site is hosted with GoDaddy.com, LLC as the registrar. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. The site is mobile optimized and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Structured data in JSON-LD format is used for SEO enhancement. Technical risks include the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional hospitality business but has room 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.
