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

Pietermaai District is a hospitality and cultural promotion website focused on the Pietermaai neighborhood in Curaçao. It provides information about local hotels, bars, restaurants, shops, and events, targeting tourists and visitors interested in local culture and nightlife. The website positions itself as a niche promoter of the district's unique offerings, blending history with modern hospitality services. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem including Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, and membership management tools. It uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking and is hosted on a provider indicated by its nameservers.

No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain is well-aged and registered with a reputable registrar. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security policies.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      • 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';…

  3. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 business operates as a small entity promoting the Pietermaai District's hospitality sector, leveraging local culture and tourism. Its business model is informational and promotional, supporting local businesses by providing a centralized platform for visitors. The website's content and structure suggest a focus on cultural heritage and community engagement. The presence of membership plugins indicates potential for business member engagement or subscription services. The company appears independent with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. Social media integration and Google site verification enhance credibility. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and formalizing privacy and security compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are visible, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. The use of reputable plugins and regular updates is implied but not confirmed. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking explicit policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is functional but should enhance security and privacy measures to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and make it easily accessible on the website.
  2. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Enable and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  6. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  7. Consider adding explicit contact information including company emails and phone numbers for transparency.
  8. Enhance accessibility features to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.2 with a variety of plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Slider Revolution for interactive sliders, and Ultimate Member for user management. It uses jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality and styling. The site loads multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and APIs such as Google Maps and AddToAny for social sharing. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and resource minification observed. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. However, the site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. Hosting is via a provider indicated by the nameservers ns1.webhostingserver.nl and related. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
