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

PiNCAMP by ADAC is a well-established European camping portal offering a comprehensive platform for discovering and booking over 14,400 camping sites across 44 countries. The website is professionally designed with consistent ADAC branding and targets campers and outdoor enthusiasts primarily in Europe. The platform provides key services such as camping site search, booking, user reviews, and camping-related content. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including React with Next.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates marketing tools like Kameleoon and Google Tag Manager. The website is mobile-optimized and performs well with good SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, though explicit security headers and published security policies are lacking. Privacy compliance is limited as no explicit privacy or cookie policies were found in the provided content. Overall, the domain registration and DNS setup are consistent with a legitimate business affiliated with ADAC, supporting a high trust level.

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

Business profile

PiNCAMP holds a strong market position as a leading camping portal in Europe, leveraging the ADAC brand for trust and recognition. Its business model centers on providing an online platform for camping site discovery and booking, monetized likely through partnerships and bookings. The target audience includes families, campers, and outdoor travelers seeking verified and reviewed camping options. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem with regional PiNCAMP sites and premium camping partners. Growth indicators include extensive user reviews and a large visitor base. The platform's content quality and user experience support customer retention and brand loyalty.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with no clear privacy or cookie policies detected, potentially exposing the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. The use of consent management scripts indicates some awareness of privacy requirements. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies prominently linked on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response channels.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance and minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, hosted on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS nameservers. It uses advanced front-end techniques for responsive design and accessibility. Performance is optimized with image preloading and lazy loading. Marketing and A/B testing tools like Kameleoon are integrated asynchronously to avoid blocking page load. However, the lack of explicit CMS suggests a custom or proprietary content management approach. The technical implementation is robust, but adding security headers and formalizing privacy mechanisms would enhance the overall technical maturity.
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.
