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

VIPAC - Viajes Pacifico is a well-established travel agency specializing in tours across Peru and South America, boasting nearly 50 years of experience. The company offers a diverse range of travel services including luxury, adventure, cruises, and MICE events, targeting tourists seeking authentic and detailed travel experiences. Their market position is strong within the South American tourism sector, supported by positive visitor feedback and certifications such as the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including service workers for PWA capabilities, Google Tag Manager, and integration with Bokun booking widgets, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no evident vulnerabilities, but the absence of security headers and explicit privacy policies suggests room for enhancement. Overall, the business demonstrates professionalism and trustworthiness, though the lack of public WHOIS data slightly reduces transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms of service documents, implementing security headers, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

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

Business profile

VIPAC operates as a medium-sized tour operator in the hospitality sector, focusing on curated travel experiences in Peru and South America. Their business model revolves around providing guided tours, luxury travel, and adventure packages, supported by a professional team and a strong online presence. The company leverages partnerships with platforms like Bokun and TripAdvisor to enhance service delivery and credibility. Their target customers are international and regional tourists interested in cultural, historical, and adventure travel. The website content and social media integration reflect a consistent branding strategy and a commitment to quality service. Growth indicators include multilingual support and diverse tour offerings. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company maintains a good reputation with trust signals such as certifications and positive reviews.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and service workers registered for enhanced user experience. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. The site uses third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited to mitigate risks. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contact, which are recommended for improved security governance. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from implementing additional security best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure they do not introduce vulnerabilities or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Multiscreensite CMS platform with integrations to Bokun for booking management and uses modern JavaScript libraries such as Skrollr for parallax effects. It employs Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing tracking. The site supports multiple languages and is mobile responsive, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance. The use of service workers indicates a progressive web app approach, enhancing offline capabilities and caching. No major technical debts or outdated technologies were detected, suggesting a well-maintained 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.
