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

The website represents the official Office de Tourisme Béziers Méditerranée, providing comprehensive tourist information, event promotion, and ticketing services for the Béziers region in France. It targets tourists and visitors seeking cultural, leisure, and practical information about the Mediterranean area. The site is well-branded, professionally designed, and offers multilingual support, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper.js, and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking. Cookie consent is managed via Axeptio, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is missing or invalid due to domain naming rules violation, which slightly reduces trust from a domain registration perspective but does not detract from the site's legitimacy based on content and certifications. Overall, the site is low risk with strong business credibility and privacy compliance, but should address domain registration clarity and enhance security headers and policies to improve trust and resilience.

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

7 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

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 Office de Tourisme Béziers Méditerranée operates as a regional tourism promotion entity, leveraging partnerships with local government, quality certification bodies, and tourism networks. Its business model centers on providing visitor information, promoting local events and attractions, and facilitating ticket sales for tours and city cards. The presence of multiple language versions and social media channels indicates a strategy to attract international tourists. Certifications such as Qualité Tourisme reinforce its market position as a trusted tourism office. The website's integration with e-commerce platforms for ticketing suggests diversified revenue streams. The partnership ecosystem includes regional tourism sites, accessibility organizations, and local government, supporting a collaborative approach to regional tourism development.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enabled site-wide and implementation of a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No sensitive data or credentials are exposed in the HTML content. The use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security hardening. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are best practices for transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is found. The WHOIS data is incomplete, which may raise concerns about domain legitimacy but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by adding security headers and formalizing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and responsible reporting.
  4. Verify and correct domain WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a custom theme and uses several JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking purposes. Cookie consent is managed by Axeptio, a modern consent management platform. The site uses OpenStreetMap via Leaflet for map features. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and asynchronous loading of scripts. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with ARIA roles and semantic HTML. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well implemented with room for security header improvements.
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.
