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 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 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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

Spido operates in the transportation sector focused on tourism and leisure cruises. Its business model revolves around direct ticket sales and event hosting, targeting both individual tourists and groups. The company leverages partnerships with local attractions and parking services to offer combinatietickets, enhancing customer value. The presence of multilingual support and detailed FAQs indicates a customer-centric approach. The company’s longevity and local reputation provide competitive advantages. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, event bookings, and ancillary services such as onboard catering. The website’s integration with third-party booking and analytics platforms suggests a robust operational ecosystem. Strategic observations include potential growth through expanded digital marketing and enhanced security transparency.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent banners, and use of Sentry for error tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options were not found and should be implemented to harden defenses against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. The site complies with GDPR requirements, indicating good data protection practices. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be elevated by adopting additional HTTP headers and publishing vulnerability disclosure information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosures.
  5. Enhance monitoring of third-party scripts and integrations to minimize privacy and security risks.

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Gravity Forms, WPML for multilingual support, Google Tag Manager, Matomo Analytics, and FareHarbor for booking management. The site uses Bootstrap-based responsive design ensuring good mobile optimization and accessibility. Performance is moderate with some room for improvement in loading speed. The presence of structured data (JSON-LD) enhances SEO and content discoverability. The integration of Sentry indicates proactive error monitoring. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but continuous maintenance is 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.
