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

2 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.

    • 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

MSC Cruises Suomi leverages a global cruise brand with localized content and services for the Finnish market. The business model focuses on direct consumer bookings, promotions, and customer engagement through digital channels. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem including multiple country-specific MSC domains and marketing platforms like Marketo. The presence of official social media channels and consistent branding supports strong market positioning. Revenue streams likely include cruise bookings, onboard services, and ancillary travel products. Growth indicators include active promotions and multi-language support. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital marketing and customer experience enhancements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, robust SSL configuration, and standard security headers. Consent management is implemented via Didomi, ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Recommendations include publishing security policies, providing incident response contacts, and maintaining regular third-party script audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Continue to monitor and optimize performance and mobile responsiveness to maintain competitive digital presence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Vue.js components, jQuery, Marketo forms, and Adobe Launch for tag management. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Akamai, including service worker caching for performance. The CMS identified is Kleecks. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The site uses multiple external marketing and tracking scripts, which are well integrated but require ongoing security monitoring. Technical risks include dependency on third-party scripts and potential complexity from multiple frameworks. Opportunities exist to streamline scripts and enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
