Risk levelHigh

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

Thai Golf Holidays is a UK-based travel service specializing in golf holiday packages in Thailand, offering flights, hotels, golf course bookings, and transfers. The website positions itself as a niche provider for golf enthusiasts seeking quality and value in Thailand's extensive golf offerings. The business has been established since 2006, indicating a mature presence in the market. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using a variety of plugins including Yoast SEO and Pootle Page Builder, providing a good user experience with moderate performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security measures.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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.

    • 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

  3. DNS health

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

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 18 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  4. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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 company targets golf travelers interested in Thailand, leveraging a business model focused on comprehensive golf holiday packages. Its market position is that of a niche leader in golf tourism for Thailand, supported by detailed golf course listings and travel services. Revenue streams likely include package sales and commissions from hotels and golf courses. The partnership ecosystem includes social media presence on Facebook but lacks visible strategic partners or subsidiaries. Growth indicators are moderate with a well-maintained website but limited digital marketing tools. The company operates in the hospitality sector with a small business size and UK base.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness. Compliance gaps exist in privacy and cookie policies, impacting GDPR adherence. The site uses standard WordPress plugins without detected vulnerable libraries but could improve by adding security best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a modern theme and several plugins for SEO, page building, maps, weather, and social sharing. The tech stack includes jQuery and standard web technologies. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and has basic accessibility features. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Technical risks include lack of security headers and incomplete privacy compliance which could affect user trust and regulatory adherence.
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.
