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

Sparenti is a Dutch-based specialized travel agency offering tailored football travel experiences and ticket sales for major European football competitions and other sports events. Established in 2015, it targets football fans and groups such as colleagues, teammates, friends, and families seeking customized sports travel packages. The company holds a trusted market position supported by strong customer testimonials and affiliation with Stichting Garantiefonds Reisgelden, enhancing its credibility. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging modern libraries such as Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Splide.js for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp for marketing and analytics. The site demonstrates good SEO practices and mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration and DNSSEC enabled, indicating strong domain security. However, it lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Sparenti presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with a solid business model and technical foundation. Enhancing privacy compliance with explicit cookie consent and publishing security policies would further strengthen its security posture and regulatory adherence.

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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-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

Sparenti operates in the niche hospitality and transportation sector, focusing on sports travel packages primarily for football fans across Europe. Its competitive advantage lies in offering comprehensive, customized travel and ticket solutions for major football leagues and events, supported by positive customer feedback and trust signals like Trustpilot reviews. The business model is e-commerce driven, generating revenue through ticket sales and travel arrangements. Target customers include groups and individuals seeking curated football experiences. The company maintains partnerships with various football clubs and leagues, enhancing its market reach. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with frequent updates and active social media engagement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities in expanding privacy and security transparency to meet evolving compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, DNSSEC, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern libraries and secure forms indicates adherence to security best practices. However, the absence of documented security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure channels reveals gaps in comprehensive security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through privacy and cookie policies, but lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance risk. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve security governance and user trust.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerable libraries are in use and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive grid layout and Font Awesome for icons. It integrates several JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Splide.js for sliders and UI components. Analytics and marketing tools include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Mailchimp. The site loads resources from multiple CDNs, improving performance. The HTML is valid and SEO optimized with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular updates to avoid vulnerabilities. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicit but DNSSEC and SSL configurations indicate a secure infrastructure.
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.
