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

  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 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

      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';…

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

Pelikan.hu operates as an essential entity in the transportation and hospitality sectors, targeting Hungarian-speaking travelers seeking cost-effective travel solutions. Its business model revolves around online bookings and travel package sales, supported by a robust partnership ecosystem including affiliate marketing and third-party service providers. The company leverages its 20-year history and IATA accreditation as competitive advantages. Revenue streams likely include commissions from flight, hotel, and car rental bookings, as well as advertising and affiliate partnerships. The presence of mobile apps and extensive social media engagement indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. Strategic observations suggest continued growth potential through enhanced service diversification and deeper integration with travel partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Use of monitoring tools like New Relic indicates active performance and security oversight. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are not explicitly visible, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header security hardening. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for an e-commerce travel platform but would benefit from formalized security governance documentation and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Add and enforce security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are in use.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies to improve compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (AngularJS) with integration of multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools. It uses CDN-hosted assets for performance optimization and supports mobile platforms via responsive design and dedicated apps. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in load times and accessibility. The absence of a known CMS suggests a custom or proprietary solution, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Technical risks include dependency on multiple external scripts which could impact security and performance if not managed properly. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and enhance SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
