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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Plaece operates in the technology sector with a focus on tourism and destination marketing. Its business model revolves around providing SaaS solutions that integrate data and content for regional marketing professionals. The platform's adoption by numerous destinations and the volume of annual visitors indicate a solid market position. The company leverages partnerships, such as with Insiders, and integrates modern marketing and analytics tools to maintain competitive advantages. Growth indicators include frequent news updates and event promotions, suggesting active engagement with its user base.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and integrates security best practices such as cookie consent mechanisms and asynchronous script loading. While explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact is noted as an area for improvement. Overall, the security posture is strong with room for enhancement in header policies and formal incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy headers to mitigate XSS risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options headers to improve clickjacking and MIME sniffing protections.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Splide.js for interactive carousels. It loads scripts asynchronously to optimize performance and employs responsive design techniques for mobile optimization. SEO is supported through structured data (JSON-LD) and comprehensive meta tags. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no explicit third-party CMS detected. Performance is moderate, with good accessibility and navigation clarity. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
