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

Urlaubsbox.com is a well-established Austrian e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of travel vouchers, hotel vouchers, and experience gift boxes for short trips and wellness vacations primarily in Austria, Germany, and neighboring European countries. The company positions itself as a premium provider with over 30 years of experience, offering flexible and attractive gift solutions for a wide range of customer segments including couples, families, singles, and activity enthusiasts. The website features a professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive product information, supporting a positive user experience and strong brand trust. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and Foundation, integrates trusted third-party services like Trusted Shops for buyer protection, and enforces HTTPS with appropriate security headers. However, there is room for improvement in privacy compliance, notably the absence of an explicit cookie consent mechanism and published security policies. Overall, the site demonstrates a solid security posture with no evident vulnerabilities or suspicious content, making it a trustworthy platform for customers seeking travel gift solutions.

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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

  4. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

The business operates in the e-commerce and hospitality sectors, targeting consumers looking for experiential gifts in the form of travel and hotel vouchers. Its competitive advantage lies in its long-standing market presence, premium branding, and comprehensive product offerings that cater to diverse travel preferences. Revenue streams are primarily from online sales of voucher gift boxes, supported by partnerships with hotels and travel service providers. The company maintains a multi-channel contact approach including phone, email, and contact forms, and leverages social media for marketing. Strategic partnerships with trusted entities like Trusted Shops and cooperation with brands such as Europcar and McDonald's enhance credibility. The business model focuses on flexibility and customer convenience, with a strong emphasis on gift presentation and customer service.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The use of nonce attributes on scripts reduces the risk of cross-site scripting attacks. Integration with Trusted Shops adds a layer of buyer protection and trust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for enhancement in transparency and preparedness. Privacy compliance could be strengthened by implementing a cookie consent banner and clarifying data retention policies. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from formalizing security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU regulations and enhance user privacy transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users to improve trust and compliance.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom e-commerce platform utilizing Foundation framework and jQuery 3.7, with Font Awesome icons and social media sharing tools. It integrates third-party services such as Trusted Shops for buyer protection and HelloPush for push notifications. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and includes SEO best practices like meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data for organization and product information. Performance is moderate, with some scope for optimization. No common CMS was detected, indicating a bespoke or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical implementation is solid but could be improved with enhanced accessibility and modernized libraries.
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.
