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

Valamar is a prominent hospitality company operating holiday hotels and resorts primarily in Croatia and Austria. Their website showcases a wide range of properties catering to diverse holiday types including family, premium, lifestyle, camping, and wellness. The company targets tourists seeking quality accommodation and holiday experiences in popular destinations such as Dubrovnik, Makarska, Hvar, and others. The website is built using modern technologies like SvelteKit and integrates advanced marketing and analytics tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and consent management implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a concern but does not detract significantly from the overall professionalism and trustworthiness of the site. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to enhance transparency and trust.

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 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';…

  2. 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

  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

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

Valamar holds a strong market position in the hospitality sector within Croatia and Austria, leveraging a portfolio of branded resorts and hotels. Their business model focuses on direct bookings, loyalty rewards, and diverse holiday offerings. The company benefits from a well-structured website that supports customer engagement and conversion. Partnerships such as the Valamar Rewards program indicate a robust customer retention strategy. The use of advanced marketing tools and analytics suggests a data-driven approach to business growth. However, the lack of publicly available company registration and WHOIS data warrants further verification for complete business intelligence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and integration of a consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the security culture and provide clearer guidance for incident handling and responsible vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to inform users and stakeholders.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance visibility of data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and monitor WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including SvelteKit, leveraging JavaScript frameworks and libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates multiple third-party services for marketing, analytics, and consent management, including Dynamic Yield, Google Tag Manager, Usercentrics CMP, and Oracle PushIO. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good SEO and accessibility practices observed. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience with scalable and maintainable infrastructure.
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.
