The company positions itself as a world leader in vacation retail, focusing on transforming goods and experiences into memorable moments for its customers. Their target audience includes cruise passengers, resort guests, and vendors seeking to partner in vacation retail. The business model revolves around experiential retail in the hospitality sector, leveraging partnerships and curated offerings to enhance vacation experiences. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor as the page builder, with Yoast SEO for search optimization and MonsterInsights for Google Analytics integration. The site is hosted likely on WPEngine, indicating a professional hosting environment. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and uses a cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls, reflecting a mature digital presence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with good SSL configuration and employs privacy-conscious analytics settings such as IP anonymization. The cookie consent banner supports GDPR compliance with clear user options.

Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for STARBOARD™ Group, with solid technical and privacy compliance foundations. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and incident response readiness would further strengthen their security posture and trustworthiness.

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

9 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

  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

  3. 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';…

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

STARBOARD™ Group operates in the retail and hospitality sectors, focusing on vacation retail curation. Their market positioning as a world leader suggests a strong competitive advantage in experiential retail for travelers. The business model likely generates revenue through vendor partnerships and retail operations on cruise ships and resorts. The company maintains active social media channels to engage with customers and partners. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on brand consistency and customer experience. The partnership with ONBOARD MEDIA suggests a collaborative ecosystem enhancing their market reach. Growth indicators include ongoing content updates and professional digital marketing tools. No direct revenue or financial data is available from the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, IP anonymization in analytics, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed credentials, vulnerable libraries, or security misconfigurations were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency and preparedness. The site lacks advanced security headers which could mitigate certain web-based attacks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and proactive security disclosures to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with Elementor page builder, Yoast SEO, and MonsterInsights for analytics. Hosting appears to be on a managed WordPress hosting provider (WPEngine), supporting good performance and uptime. The site uses external CDNs for scripts and cookie compliance tools. Mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization are well implemented. Some technical debt may exist in the form of missing advanced security headers and limited accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed and resource management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
