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

WestCord Hotels operates a multilingual WordPress-based website targeting travelers interested in unique hotel accommodations across various locations in the Netherlands. The site offers booking services and presents itself as a medium-sized hospitality business with consistent branding and good content quality. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK for marketing, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. SEO and social media integration are well implemented through structured data and Open Graph metadata. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though the absence of explicit privacy policy, terms of service, and incident response information indicates room for improvement in compliance and transparency. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. 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

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.

Business context

Business profile

WestCord Hotels holds a solid market position as a provider of 15 unique hotels in the Netherlands, targeting tourists and travelers seeking accommodation in cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Groningen. The business model centers on hospitality services with direct booking capabilities. The multilingual approach (German, Dutch, English) broadens their audience reach. The company benefits from a consistent brand presence and uses trusted marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement. While no detailed financial or founding data is available, the website's quality and technology stack suggest a mature operation with potential for growth. Partnerships with related domains indicate a cohesive digital ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot. However, the lack of visible security headers and absence of published security policies or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limit the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site would benefit from adding security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, publishing a privacy policy and terms of service, and establishing clear incident response contacts. These steps would enhance compliance with GDPR and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, processing, and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user agreements and security commitments.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality and WPML for multilingual support. It uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK for marketing and analytics, and Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The site loads Google Fonts and Google Maps API for enhanced user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. No major technical debt or outdated libraries were detected, but adding security headers and improving accessibility would further strengthen the technical foundation.
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.
