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

Webjet NZ is an online travel agency focused on providing booking services for flights, hotels, car hire, travel insurance, holiday packages, and cruises targeted at New Zealand travelers. The website is branded consistently with its parent company Webjet Australia and offers a professional user experience with good content relevance and navigation. The technical infrastructure includes modern tracking and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel, alongside jQuery and Google Fonts. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration, ensuring secure communications. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain www.webjet.co.nz raises questions about domain registration legitimacy or indicates it may be a subdomain or alias. Privacy and cookie policies are not clearly present, and security headers are missing, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site presents a good security posture but could enhance compliance and transparency.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  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

  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

Webjet NZ operates as a large online travel agency serving the New Zealand market, leveraging the brand and infrastructure of Webjet Australia. Its business model centers on aggregating and offering travel-related services including flights, hotels, car hire, insurance, and holiday packages. The company targets individual and group travelers seeking convenient online booking solutions. The website integrates multiple advertising and tracking technologies to support marketing and retargeting efforts. Partnerships with companies like Rocket Lab for web development are evident. The lack of direct contact information and privacy disclosures on the site may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The domain's WHOIS absence suggests a need for verification to ensure domain ownership aligns with business claims.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration, which is a fundamental security best practice. It employs Google Tag Manager to manage scripts, reducing risks of unauthorized script injection. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for mature security posture and compliance with standards like GDPR and NIS2. The extensive use of tracking and advertising scripts without clear privacy controls suggests moderate privacy risk. Overall, the security posture is good but can be significantly improved by adding security headers, privacy policies, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Establish and publicize a security incident response plan and contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct audits to ensure compliance with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Fonts. The site is served over HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance appears moderate with deferred and async loading of scripts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and media queries. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and canonical links. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is explicitly detected. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and security headers. The WHOIS data absence for the domain is a technical risk that should be addressed to confirm domain ownership and legitimacy.
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.
