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

4 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. 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

The company operates in the tourism sector, focusing on B2B services for travel agencies and service providers. Its business model revolves around providing technology, marketing, and insurance solutions, along with partner programs and service centers. The market position as the largest independent tourism distributor in Europe indicates strong competitive advantages and a broad partnership ecosystem. The website links to several partner domains, indicating a well-established network. The presence of partner login portals and hardware shops suggests diversified revenue streams and service offerings. The company targets travel agencies and tourism service providers, emphasizing digital marketing and technology solutions. Growth indicators include active event and newsletter sections, and a comprehensive career page. The business intelligence points to a stable, large-sized enterprise with a strong brand and market presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration, uses reCAPTCHA for form protection, and has a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not detected, which could enhance security against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security management. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is present, which is a missed opportunity for responsible vulnerability handling. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers and published policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and WordPress core to mitigate risks from outdated software.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, WPBakery Page Builder, Slider Revolution, and Contact Form 7. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Matomo. The site uses jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries. Performance is moderate with some heavy slider elements but overall good mobile optimization and responsive design. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site shows good SEO practices with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks are low but could be further reduced by improving security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
