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. 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 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';…
  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

NOVASOL operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on vacation home rentals. Its business model is based on online booking and property management services, targeting families and travelers seeking holiday accommodations in Europe. The company benefits from a strong market position as a leading provider with a broad portfolio and international reach. Partnerships and subsidiaries are limited, with Awaze as the parent company. The website supports multiple languages and regional domains, indicating a mature international strategy. Revenue streams likely include rental commissions and property management fees. The company emphasizes customer trust and quality service, supported by its long history and brand consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate bot and spam risks. The presence of a Content Security Policy and other headers reduces common web vulnerabilities. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party monitoring tools like New Relic indicates active performance and security monitoring. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily Next.js (React framework), ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection, and New Relic for performance monitoring. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, enhancing global performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets. Accessibility is basic but functional. The technical stack is well-maintained with no visible technical debt or deprecated libraries. Performance is fast, and SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and publish more detailed security documentation.
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.
