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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The ROCS Group operates across multiple sectors including travel, investments, media, retail, and property, offering a wide range of services such as guided tours, corporate membership cards, and retail outlets. Their business model is diversified, combining direct consumer services with corporate partnerships and membership programs. The company targets a broad audience including individual travelers, corporate clients, and retail customers. The presence of numerous dynamic pages and detailed brochures indicates active content management and a focus on customer engagement. Their market position is strong within Malta and extends internationally, supported by recognized certifications like IATA and awards such as MCCAA. The group’s strategic focus on innovation and customer satisfaction is evident from their communications and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and secure handling of cookies and access tokens. The use of Sentry for error monitoring adds to the proactive security management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the site suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The site follows best practices typical of the Wix platform but could benefit from additional security documentation and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a formal vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider advanced privacy compliance measures and detailed data retention policies to strengthen GDPR adherence.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Wix platform utilizing React 18 and a suite of Wix applications including Bookings, Stores, Events, Pro Gallery, and Chat. It employs modern web technologies and CDNs for efficient content delivery. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, and includes comprehensive meta tags and structured data for SEO. Performance is optimized with lazy loading and responsive images, although mobile optimization is basic and could be improved. The technical infrastructure supports a rich content experience with dynamic pages and integrated third-party widgets. There are no significant technical debts or risks identified, but ongoing maintenance and modernization are recommended to sustain performance and security.
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.
