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

7 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

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 strong market position as a large hospitality company with over 50,000 vacation homes in 18 countries. Its competitive advantages include a long history, extensive property portfolio, local offices, and a user-friendly digital platform including a mobile app. The business model focuses on vacation rental services and property owner management, targeting families, groups, and pet owners. Revenue streams likely include rental commissions and property management fees. The company maintains active social media channels and partners with its parent company Awaze, enhancing its market reach and operational capabilities. Strategic observations suggest continued growth potential through digital innovation and expanded service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate automated abuse. Monitoring tools like New Relic and Boomerang provide real-time performance and error tracking. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly detected in the HTML content and should be verified. No direct incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which is a gap in transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be improved by publishing clear security policies and incident contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and implement explicit security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily React with Next.js for server-side rendering and SEO optimization. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for bot protection, and New Relic for performance and error monitoring. Hosting and CDN services appear to be provided by Akamai, ensuring fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloading of critical assets. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO practices include canonical tags, hreflang for multilingual support, and structured data in JSON-LD format describing the organization and its parent company. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, scalable, and aligned with industry best practices.
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.
