The company provides comprehensive services including cruise deals, reservation management, excursions, and onboard experiences. Their website targets general consumers interested in family-friendly and leisure cruise vacations. The business is a subsidiary of MSC Cruises S.A., a well-established global cruise corporation. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Vue.js, Google Tag Manager, Marketo marketing automation, and Akamai CDN and service workers for performance and security. The site is hosted on Akamai infrastructure, uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, and integrates consent management tools to comply with privacy regulations. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and basic accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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 Cruzeiros operates in the transportation and hospitality sectors as a cruise line provider. Their business model revolves around selling cruise vacations and related travel packages, targeting families and leisure travelers primarily in Brazil but also globally. The company leverages a strong brand presence and extensive digital marketing ecosystem including Marketo and Google Tag Manager. Their market position is that of a large, established player with a global parent company. Revenue streams likely include cruise ticket sales, onboard services, excursions, and travel packages. The company maintains active social media channels and a user account system for reservation management, indicating a mature customer engagement strategy. Strategic partnerships and hosting on Akamai CDN enhance performance and security. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies online suggests an area for strategic improvement to meet evolving regulatory and consumer expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and strong SSL configuration. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security are present, reducing common web vulnerabilities. The use of Akamai service workers and consent management SDKs indicates attention to security and privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of published privacy policy, terms of service, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents compliance and transparency gaps. These omissions could impact user trust and regulatory adherence, especially under GDPR and similar frameworks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing comprehensive policies and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy page prominently linked on the website.
  2. Add terms of service to clarify user rights and company obligations.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, notably Vue.js, and integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools such as Marketo, Adobe DTM, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is provided by Akamai, ensuring robust CDN performance and security features including service workers. The site uses a CMS named Kleecks. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical implementation is solid with valid meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and responsive design. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and to formalize privacy and security documentation. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content.
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.
