0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel website presents a professional and comprehensive hospitality business based in Hobart, Tasmania. The company offers modern self-contained accommodation targeting couples, families, friends, and corporate travelers. The site highlights key services including rooms and apartments, dining options, event spaces, and accessible accommodation. The business maintains an active social media presence and integrates a third-party booking engine for reservations. Technically, the site is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern web technologies and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. While the site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, it lacks some advanced security headers and a visible privacy policy, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, but the website content and linked domains suggest a legitimate and established hospitality business. Overall, the site scores well on business credibility and content quality but could enhance its security posture and privacy compliance.

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.

Priority findings

6 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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

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

The Old Woolstore Apartment Hotel operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on accommodation and hospitality services in Tasmania, Australia. The business targets a diverse audience including leisure and corporate travelers. Its market position is strengthened by a sister hotel relationship and a central location in Hobart. Revenue streams likely include room bookings, dining, event hosting, and parking services. The company uses a third-party booking platform, indicating a partnership ecosystem that supports its operations. The website content and structure reflect a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding and good digital maturity. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve privacy and security policies to align with regulatory expectations and enhance customer trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates standard tracking and marketing scripts. However, it lacks several important security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a privacy policy and limited security disclosures indicate gaps in compliance and transparency. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in header configurations and policy disclosures to strengthen protection and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to reduce risks of cross-site scripting and data injection attacks.
  3. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to protect against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  4. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance with data protection regulations.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its CMS capabilities and hosting infrastructure. It incorporates third-party services including SimpleBooking for reservations, Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing, and Google Maps API for location services. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with some reliance on external scripts that may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic but present. Technical debt appears low given the use of a managed platform, though improvements in security headers and privacy disclosures are recommended to reduce risk and enhance user trust.
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.
