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

Plava Laguna is a hospitality company specializing in providing accommodation services including hotels, villas, and apartments primarily in the Istria region of Croatia, focusing on destinations such as Porec and Umag. The company targets tourists seeking quality lodging options in this popular travel area. The website demonstrates a solid digital presence with a modern technical infrastructure built on Next.js and React, integrating advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. The website is well-optimized for SEO and mobile devices, providing a good user experience. However, the WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the site appears professional and trustworthy, with room for improvement in publishing security and compliance documentation.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing X-XSS-Protection header

      Legacy XSS protection (deprecated but still recommended)

      What to do: Add "X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block"

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

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

Plava Laguna holds a strong market position in the regional hospitality sector, offering a diversified portfolio of accommodation options. Their business model revolves around direct bookings and resort management, targeting leisure travelers and tourists. The company leverages partnerships with major advertising platforms like Google, Meta, and Microsoft to drive traffic and conversions. The presence of comprehensive cookie consent and privacy policies indicates a mature approach to data privacy and compliance. Growth indicators include a broad accommodation offering and active marketing campaigns. The company maintains a consistent brand image and provides clear contact information, enhancing customer trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of Cookiebot ensures GDPR-compliant cookie management. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests gaps in transparency and readiness for security incidents. No security.txt file or data protection officer contact details were found, which are recommended best practices for organizations handling personal data. Overall, the security measures are solid but could be enhanced by publishing additional security governance information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security governance and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party tracking and advertising tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot reflects a focus on analytics and privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details were not identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced documentation.
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.
