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

VIKING TRAVEL is a small, established transportation company founded in 1926, operating primarily in the UK. The company offers transportation services including fleet management and school transportation. Their website is built on the GoDaddy Website Builder platform and hosted by GoDaddy, reflecting a modest but functional digital presence. The site includes basic content and navigation, with a cookie consent banner and Google Analytics integration, but lacks detailed contact information and comprehensive policy pages. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing key security headers and policies. Overall, the website serves as a basic informational portal for the business but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.

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.

    • 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

  2. DNS health

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

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: vikingtravelgb-co-uk.mail.protection.outlook.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  3. 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"

  4. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 company positions itself as a longstanding local transportation provider with a focus on schools and fleet services. The business model is service-oriented, targeting local clients and educational institutions. The website's limited content and absence of detailed contact or transactional features suggest a primarily informational role rather than e-commerce or lead generation. The use of GoDaddy's platform indicates a cost-effective approach to digital presence. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the domain or content. Testimonials are present, supporting trust but no formal certifications or accreditations are displayed.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a service worker, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, and no contact channels for security incidents are provided. Cookie consent is implemented but lacks explicit GDPR compliance indicators. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is controlled with default denial of tracking, which is positive for privacy. Overall, the security posture is basic and could be improved to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies including contact information for reporting issues.
  3. Enhance cookie consent mechanism to fully comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Add visible and verified contact information including email and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Consider expanding website content and features to improve user engagement and business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using GoDaddy Website Builder, leveraging standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses Google Analytics for traffic analysis with tracking disabled by default until consent is given. The site is mobile responsive with basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. However, the lack of security headers and limited SEO optimization indicate areas for technical improvement. The domain is hosted on GoDaddy infrastructure, consistent with the registrar information. No advanced frameworks or CMS platforms are detected beyond the website builder environment.
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.
