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

Travel FREE is a well-established European bordershop retailer founded in 2003, offering duty-free shopping services primarily targeting European travelers. The website promotes its mobile app available on both Apple App Store and Google Play, indicating a digital retail presence. The technical infrastructure includes modern tools such as Google Tag Manager for analytics and Usercentrics for cookie consent management, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and consent mechanisms in place, but lacks published privacy policies, terms of service, and explicit contact information, which are critical for compliance and trust. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

7 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • 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

  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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 11 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Travel FREE holds a leading market position in European duty-free retail, leveraging both physical bordershop locations and a mobile app to reach customers. The business model focuses on retail sales to travelers, with a target audience of European consumers seeking duty-free products. The company benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding. However, the absence of detailed business contact information and compliance documentation online may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, but external domains indicate reliance on standard analytics and consent providers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent management via Usercentrics. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics with ads data redaction enabled, indicating some privacy considerations. However, the lack of security headers, incident response contacts, vulnerability disclosure policies, and published privacy and terms documents represent gaps in security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Enhancing security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers would improve the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and document an incident response process including security contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ domains.
  3. Add standard security HTTP headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear and verified contact information including company emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager and Usercentrics for consent management, and Google Fonts for typography. Hosting appears to be with Active24, consistent with the Czech Republic location. The site is mobile optimized with a responsive design and smart app banners. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. Accessibility features are minimal but present. There is room for improvement in technical SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
