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

5 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

PiNCAMP operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on camping and outdoor travel services. It leverages its affiliation with TCS and ADAC to build trust and market leadership. The business model centers on providing an extensive directory and booking service for camping sites, monetized likely through affiliate bookings and partnerships. The platform serves a broad European audience, with sister sites in multiple countries, indicating a strong regional presence. The partnership ecosystem includes premium camping brands and regional camping associations. Growth indicators include a large user base and extensive user-generated reviews, supporting market credibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, modern security headers, and consent management for cookies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. The use of third-party scripts like Kameleoon and Usercentrics is managed with consent mechanisms, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact emails (e.g., security@ or abuse@) to facilitate incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance data retention transparency by publishing clear policies on user data lifecycle.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js stack, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It uses advanced consent management (Usercentrics) and A/B testing (Kameleoon) tools, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance appears fast with preloading of critical assets and optimized images. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary content management solution. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable, performant, and user-friendly experience.
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.
