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

Architectour.lu is a professionally maintained website serving as a comprehensive guide to contemporary architecture, engineering, and urbanism in Luxembourg. It is affiliated with the official Order of Architects and Engineers (OAI) of Luxembourg, providing curated tours, project showcases, and editorial content aimed at professionals and the general public interested in architectural innovation and sustainable construction. The platform is well-positioned as a leading architectural reference in Luxembourg with a clear focus on promoting local architectural achievements and education. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and Google Analytics for user tracking with IP anonymization. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and features good SEO practices. However, it lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and anonymizes user IPs in analytics, but does not provide visible security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the site content is fully accessible. The WHOIS data aligns well with the website's business claims, indicating legitimacy and consistency. Overall, the website is a credible and valuable resource for its target audience but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security posture improvements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 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';…

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

Architectour.lu operates as an informational and promotional platform backed by the OAI, targeting architects, engineers, urban planners, and architecture enthusiasts. Its business model revolves around providing curated architectural tours, project information, and educational content, supported by official institutional backing. The site leverages partnerships with related organizations and government entities to enhance its offerings. Its market position is strong within Luxembourg's architectural community, serving as a trusted guide and reference. The presence of downloadable guides, videos, and archives indicates a content-rich approach aimed at engagement and education. The business appears small in size but well integrated into the local architectural ecosystem, with a focus on sustainable construction and innovation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enabled, and Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization and no ad personalization, reflecting some privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options), lack of published privacy and cookie policies, and no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information represent gaps. No forms or input fields were detected in the analyzed content, reducing attack surface. The WHOIS data is consistent and does not raise red flags. To improve security posture, the site should implement comprehensive security headers, publish privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, and provide clear incident response contacts. These steps will enhance compliance, user trust, and resilience against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance SSL/TLS configuration to meet current best practices and regularly audit for vulnerabilities.
  5. Add incident response contact information and consider implementing a dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8 CMS, a mature and widely used content management system. It uses modern JavaScript modules and integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, with IP anonymization enabled. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with a clear navigation structure and good SEO metadata. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the provided content. However, the absence of advanced security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for technical improvement. Hosting details are not explicitly provided, but DNS name servers indicate Luxembourg-based hosting. The site uses AddToAny for social sharing functionality. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
