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

West Dorset Leisure Holidays is a well-established UK-based hospitality business operating six family-run holiday parks along the Jurassic Coast in Dorset. The company offers a diverse range of accommodation options including lodges, caravans, apartments, camping pitches, and glamping, targeting families and holiday home buyers. Their digital presence is built on a WordPress platform with modern technologies such as Google Maps API, FacetWP for search, and SEO optimizations via Yoast. The website is professionally designed with good content quality and navigation, optimized for mobile users. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and incident response information are lacking. Privacy and cookie policies are not found, indicating a compliance gap. Overall, the domain registration data supports the legitimacy and maturity of the business. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security best practices would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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

  4. 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"

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 holds a strong regional market position in the hospitality sector, leveraging multiple holiday parks to serve families and holiday home owners. Their business model combines leisure accommodation services with holiday home ownership sales, providing diversified revenue streams. The website content and structured data indicate a focus on family-friendly services, dog-friendly policies, and year-round operations. Partnerships with related park domains and use of third-party booking and marketing platforms suggest a collaborative ecosystem. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies may expose the company to compliance risks, but the overall professional presentation and long domain age indicate a stable operation with growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel indicates tracking but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found, which is a compliance concern. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The lack of privacy and cookie policies further weakens the compliance posture. No known vulnerabilities or malicious content were identified. The company should prioritize implementing security headers, privacy notices, and incident response contacts to improve security culture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently link a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts and procedures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, FacetWP for faceted search, Google Maps API for location services, and Yoast SEO for optimization. Performance is moderate with preloading of key CSS and JS assets. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive UI elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses asynchronous loading for analytics and tracking scripts to reduce blocking. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy technical controls.
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.
