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

5 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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

  4. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

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.

Business context

Business profile

Tablebooker operates in the hospitality sector as an important entity providing online restaurant booking services in Belgium. Its business model centers on connecting diners with restaurants, generating value through reservations and user engagement. The platform benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including related services like Tablemanager for restaurant owners and marketing affiliates. The presence of multiple language options and extensive restaurant listings suggests a focus on market penetration and user convenience. The company maintains active social media channels and provides clear contact information, supporting customer trust and engagement. Growth indicators include a large database of reviews and restaurants, positioning Tablebooker as a key player in the Belgian restaurant reservation market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS, integration of Google reCAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt files indicates gaps in transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of third-party libraries is modern but should be regularly audited to mitigate risks. Recommendations include implementing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be strengthened with formal policies and improved header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries and dependencies to ensure no known vulnerabilities are present.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Select2, and Moment.js, alongside Google services including reCAPTCHA and Maps API, indicating a well-integrated tech stack. Server-side rendering is done with Thymeleaf templates, suggesting a Java-based backend. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes SEO best practices like meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDNs for static assets. There is no detected CMS, implying a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and implement additional security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
