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

6 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

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

  2. 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';…
  3. 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

NOVASOL operates as an online marketplace and property management service for holiday rentals, targeting consumers looking for vacation homes in Europe. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive property portfolio, local inspections ensuring quality, and a safety package that includes cancellation protection and best price guarantees. The company is part of the Awaze group, which supports its market position and operational scale. NOVASOL leverages partnerships and digital marketing tools to maintain visibility and customer engagement. The business model focuses on direct bookings and property owner services, with a strong emphasis on trust and customer experience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate automated abuse. Monitoring tools like New Relic provide performance and error tracking. Cookie consent management via Usercentrics indicates GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Enhancing security documentation and providing clear channels for security incident reporting would strengthen the security culture and customer confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It uses a variety of third-party services including Google Tag Manager, AppsFlyer, and Usercentrics for analytics and marketing. Performance monitoring is handled by New Relic and Boomerang RUM, indicating a focus on user experience and site reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets. Hosting appears to be via a CDN with Akamai references, supporting fast global delivery. The technical stack is robust and well-maintained, though opportunities exist to improve accessibility and security transparency.
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.
