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. 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Vertical Booking operates in the hospitality technology sector, targeting hotels and chains worldwide with a B2B SaaS model. Their competitive advantage lies in a unified platform that centralizes sales channels and offers extensive integrations (600+). The company benefits from a strong parent group (Zucchetti), certifications, and a broad partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent events and collaborations, such as with HyperGuest and Cvent Transient. The business model focuses on software licensing and service subscriptions, supported by digital marketing and account/project management services. The company maintains a professional online presence with multilingual support and clear calls to action for demos and partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, domain status protections, and PCI compliance. Cookie consent is managed via Iubenda, ensuring GDPR and other privacy law compliance. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response contacts, and security.txt file represents a gap in transparency and readiness. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with user consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced disclosure and DNS security measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and expose a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS integrity and security.
  4. Add explicit HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and technologies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for UI components, and Google Tag Manager for analytics management. The site is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services and registered via GoDaddy, with domain protections enabled. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site lacks a known CMS, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. SEO is well implemented with canonical tags, hreflang for multilingual support, and meta descriptions. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and integrated with Iubenda services. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers could be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
