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

5 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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, YouTube, Google APIs

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

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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 holds a leading market position in the European vacation rental sector, leveraging a large inventory of properties and a user-friendly online platform. Its business model connects property owners with renters, generating revenue through rental commissions and property management services. The company targets families, couples, and groups seeking authentic vacation experiences in private accommodations. Strategic partnerships and a parent company relationship with Awaze enhance its market reach and operational capabilities. The website content and marketing emphasize diverse destinations and seasonal offerings, supporting customer engagement and retention.

Security posture

The website employs robust security measures including HTTPS encryption, comprehensive security headers, and Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. New Relic monitoring provides real-time performance and error tracking, enhancing operational security. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The site would benefit from publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance privacy policy with detailed data retention and processing disclosures.
  4. Add clear company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. It leverages Google Tag Manager for marketing analytics and New Relic for performance monitoring and error tracking. Assets are served via a CDN (static.age.awaze.com), improving load times globally. The site is mobile-optimized with adaptive images and accessible navigation. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports scalability and maintainability, though continuous monitoring for library updates and security patches is recommended.
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.
