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

Visit Dartmoor is a well-established regional tourism website founded in 2006, providing comprehensive information on accommodation, food, attractions, and activities in the Dartmoor area of the United Kingdom. The website targets tourists and visitors seeking to explore Dartmoor, offering detailed guides, booking options, and an online shop for related products. Its market position is that of a trusted local tourism portal with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular plugins such as WooCommerce for e-commerce, Elementor for page building, and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Maps APIs to enhance user experience and track visitor data. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and moderate performance, with room for improvement in accessibility features. From a security perspective, the website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks some recommended security headers and does not publish a formal security policy or incident response contacts. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, reflecting a basic but adequate privacy posture. Overall, Visit Dartmoor presents a low-risk profile with a strong business credibility and good technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response readiness, and accessibility compliance would further enhance its security posture and user 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

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
    • 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

  2. 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

    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Visit Dartmoor operates as an important entity within the hospitality and tourism sector, focusing on the Dartmoor region in the UK. Its business model revolves around providing detailed tourism information, accommodation listings, and booking facilitation, supplemented by an online shop. The company leverages digital marketing tools and social media to engage its target audience of tourists and local visitors. The domain's long registration history supports its established market presence. While no parent or subsidiary companies are identified, the site maintains partnerships through social media and external service integrations. The business shows consistent branding and high-quality content, positioning it competitively within regional tourism portals.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS encryption and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but further enhancements such as a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file would strengthen the security culture and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet recognized standards, improving usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update all WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform utilizing Elementor for design flexibility and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for visitor tracking and performance analysis, alongside Google Maps API for location services. The site uses Yoast SEO to optimize search engine visibility and includes reCAPTCHA for form security. Performance is moderate, with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The hosting provider is linked to the registrar SWBROADBAND Ltd t/a cloudabove, indicating a stable infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, but ongoing maintenance and security updates are essential to sustain operational integrity.
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.
