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 Nederland benefits from being part of a large international cruise company, leveraging a strong brand and extensive partner network. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer cruise bookings, marketing promotions, and customer loyalty programs such as the MSC Voyagers Club. The target audience includes general consumers interested in Mediterranean, Caribbean, and worldwide cruises. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides localized content for the Dutch market. The presence of multiple localized domains indicates a global strategy with regional customization. Marketing and retargeting tools are used moderately to enhance customer engagement. The company’s operations appear stable and well-integrated within the parent organization.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of modern security practices such as service workers and consent management. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options were not confirmed in the HTML content and should be verified server-side. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. The site’s use of third-party scripts (Marketo, Adobe DTM, Fanplayr) introduces some risk but is common in enterprise marketing environments. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with formal vulnerability disclosure and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement comprehensive security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy).
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Vue.js for frontend components, jQuery for legacy support, and Marketo for marketing automation. Didomi is used for GDPR-compliant consent management. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Akamai, ensuring good performance and availability. The CMS identified is Kleecks, which supports structured content and multi-language capabilities. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, canonical links, and structured data. Mobile optimization is good, and the site is responsive. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and suitable for an enterprise travel service website.
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.
