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

MSC Cruceros Latam operates as the Latin American regional website for MSC Cruises, a major global cruise line. The website offers cruise vacation bookings, deals, and onboard experience information primarily targeting Spanish-speaking customers in Latin America. It is part of the larger MSC Cruises International group, reflecting a strong market position in the transportation and hospitality sectors. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting a positive user experience. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks like Vue.js, integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Marketo and Google Tag Manager, and is hosted on a robust CDN infrastructure (Akamai). Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain is unusual and merits further investigation to confirm domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for a large enterprise in the travel industry.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  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

MSC Cruceros Latam leverages the global MSC Cruises brand to serve the Latin American market with localized content and services. The business model focuses on direct online bookings and customer engagement through personalized offers and loyalty programs like the MSC Voyagers Club. The company maintains multiple regional contact points and social media channels to enhance customer support and marketing reach. The presence of multiple regional partner domains indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The website's integration with advanced marketing tools and analytics suggests a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and retention. Growth indicators include frequent promotional campaigns and a comprehensive cruise portfolio. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining domain registration transparency and enhancing security disclosures to strengthen trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and use of service workers for performance and security enhancements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site employs reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing, which are integrated with privacy compliance in mind. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, representing a compliance gap. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program reduces transparency for security researchers. Recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, establishing clear incident response channels, and conducting regular third-party script audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved with enhanced transparency and formalized processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicly link a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Vue.js for frontend interactivity, jQuery for legacy support, and integrates marketing automation via Marketo and Adobe DTM. Hosting and content delivery are managed through Akamai CDN, ensuring global performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of key assets. SEO best practices are followed with appropriate meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD for organization and breadcrumb information. Performance is moderate with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable and professional online presence.
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.
