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"

    • 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. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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 website positions itself as a key regional tourism promoter, leveraging local natural attractions to attract visitors. Its competitive advantage lies in localized content and community engagement. The business model is service-oriented, focusing on information dissemination rather than direct sales. Revenue streams are likely from regional funding or partnerships rather than e-commerce. The target customer segments include nature enthusiasts, families, and tourists seeking outdoor activities. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but may include local municipalities and businesses. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expanding digital marketing and enhancing security transparency to build further trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and anti-bot measures via reCAPTCHA. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is evident, but further improvements could include publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and enhancing accessibility features. The current security measures are adequate for the business type and risk profile but could be strengthened to align with best practices for public-facing tourism sites.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user guidance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  4. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase transparency by providing incident response contact channels for security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a well-established CMS (WordPress) with a modern and functional tech stack including jQuery, Flatpickr for date picking, and FontAwesome for icons. Hosting is inferred to be with GoDaddy based on nameservers. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in loading times and accessibility. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. The site is mobile optimized and provides a good user experience. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities if not regularly updated and limited accessibility features. Modernization opportunities include adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and improving performance metrics.
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.
