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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

The company operates in the transportation and technology sectors, focusing on software and IT solutions for rail travel. Its business model is B2B, providing API integrations and booking platforms to travel agencies and rail companies. The presence of major European rail partners and client logos indicates strong market positioning and partnership ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, API usage fees, and affiliate commissions. The company emphasizes 24/7 support and customization, signaling a customer-centric approach. Growth indicators include recent news updates and product expansions. The website content and structure support a professional and scalable business operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure form handling, and use of consent management tools. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Usercentrics is managed with consent. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the HTML content and should be audited. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by publishing formal security documentation and improving HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Audit and implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with the Flatsome theme and several plugins including Yoast SEO, Formidable Forms, and Usercentrics for consent management. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and prefetching strategies for performance. The technical implementation is solid with no visible broken elements or errors. However, hosting provider details are not explicit, and performance is moderate, suggesting potential for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for enhancements in security and performance.
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.
