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

Wexas Travel is a well-established luxury travel agency specializing in tailor-made holidays across all seven continents. With over 50 years of experience, the company offers a wide range of services including luxury rail journeys, cruise holidays, safaris, and self-drive tours. The website reflects a strong market position with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and multiple trust indicators such as ATOL and ABTOT licenses and Feefo Platinum reviews. The target audience is discerning travelers seeking personalized luxury travel experiences. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and various marketing and tracking tools, hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with good performance metrics. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly available. The security posture is solid with no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is good, featuring cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned privacy policies. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly, potentially indicating privacy protection or data source limitations, which slightly impacts trust analysis. Overall, Wexas Travel presents a professional, trustworthy, and secure online presence suitable for its luxury travel business. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response policies, adding vulnerability disclosure information, and enhancing transparency around data protection officer contacts.

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. 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
    • 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
    • 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

Wexas Travel operates in the hospitality sector as a luxury travel specialist with a business model focused on tailor-made holiday planning and personalized travel services. The company leverages its long-standing reputation and endorsements from notable honorary presidents to maintain a competitive advantage. Revenue streams likely include commissions from travel bookings, cruise packages, and travel insurance offerings. The target customer segment is affluent travelers seeking bespoke travel experiences. The company demonstrates growth potential through diverse holiday types and global destination coverage. Partnerships with cruise lines and travel brands are evident, enhancing service offerings. The website content and structure support a strong brand image and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. Consent management for cookies and tracking scripts aligns with privacy regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The absence of data protection officer contact details is a compliance gap. Overall, the security culture appears adequate but could benefit from enhanced documentation and communication to users.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance GDPR compliance.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential security risks.
  5. Enhance cookie consent details with explicit information on data retention and processing practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and various marketing widgets. It uses the Pure CSS framework for layout and is hosted on AWS Cloudfront CDN, ensuring reliable content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices implemented through meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and use of CDNs. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
