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

8 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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 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. 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.

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 real estate sectors, focusing on luxury vacation rentals and event hosting. Its market position is niche, serving a regional audience in Belgium and neighboring areas. The business model is rental-based with additional revenue from group activities and catering. The website supports multiple languages, indicating an international or regional target audience. The presence of social media and a dedicated app suggests active customer engagement. The company appears small but professional, with a long historical background linked to the original mill dating back to 1598. Partnerships with TenZer for booking and cookie management indicate a modern approach to digital operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner with granular controls, which is positive for privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly present and should be implemented to enhance security. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to increase trust and readiness. The use of third-party scripts is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain and review cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 5 and jQuery 3.6.0. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for marketing and analytics purposes. The site loads additional widgets such as Harbor and Holli chat for enhanced user interaction. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and CSS preloading. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data. There is some technical debt in missing security headers and basic accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain uses HTTPS with a valid certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and supports the business needs effectively.
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.
