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

8 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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

Charentes Tourisme operates as a government/non-profit entity in the hospitality sector, providing tourism promotion and support services. Its business model revolves around offering certifications, digital tools, and professional services to enhance the economic performance of tourism stakeholders in the Charentes region. The organization leverages partnerships with regional government bodies and maintains subdomains for specialized services like Club ULICE and the Zéphyr intelligence platform. The website content and certifications indicate a strong focus on accessibility and sustainable tourism. The presence of analytics and marketing tools suggests an active approach to audience engagement and data-driven decision-making. The company maintains a consistent brand and trust signals, positioning itself as a credible and professional regional tourism authority.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and use of security-related plugins such as Content Protector (Passster). However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content Security Policy and HSTS represents areas for improvement. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the site follows basic security best practices but should enhance DNS security and HTTP header configurations to strengthen its defense. Regular plugin and theme audits are recommended to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS).
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of WordPress plugins and themes to identify and patch vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It uses popular plugins such as Slider Revolution and WPBakery Page Builder for content presentation. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Matomo, integrated through Google Tag Manager and Matomo Tag Manager. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a reputable French hosting company. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript libraries like jQuery. Some technical debt is noted in the lack of DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for improved security posture. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
