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

The website www.tour-auvergne-rhone-alpes.fr serves as the official digital platform for the 2025 Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes cycling race, a significant event in the professional cycling calendar. It provides comprehensive information about the race, including news, teams, routes, media content, and partner details. The site targets cycling enthusiasts, media professionals, sponsors, and the general public interested in the event. The business model focuses on event promotion, fan engagement, and sponsor visibility. Technically, the site employs a modern JavaScript-based infrastructure with integrations of Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, TikTok Pixel, and Google DoubleClick for advertising and analytics. The presence of OneTrust cookie consent indicates attention to privacy compliance, although explicit privacy and terms of service pages are not found. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some improvements are possible. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements key security headers, enhancing protection against common web threats. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for maturity in security governance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for the cycling event, supported by official partners and social media presence. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for event sites and does not detract from legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enhancing contact transparency, and continuing to monitor third-party scripts for security risks.

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 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain:

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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 website occupies a niche position as the official information hub for a major cycling race in France, the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 2025. It leverages partnerships with recognized brands such as Tissot and Letour.fr to enhance credibility and reach. The business model is centered on event promotion, fan engagement through multimedia content, and sponsor visibility. Revenue streams likely include sponsorships, merchandise sales via linked stores, and media rights. The target audience includes cycling fans, sports media, and sponsors. The site demonstrates growth potential through digital engagement and gaming partnerships. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to official cycling games and merchandise platforms, indicating a well-integrated marketing strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern SSL/TLS configuration, and implementation of multiple security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The use of a cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, though the absence of a published privacy policy and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No signs of exposed credentials, malware, or vulnerable libraries were found. The extensive use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts introduces a moderate risk surface that should be regularly audited. Overall, the security maturity is good for an event website but could be improved by formalizing security policies and disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to enhance legal transparency and user trust.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks.
  5. Improve accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and enhance user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy front end with asynchronous loading of content blocks and integration of multiple third-party services for analytics and advertising. It employs Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, TikTok Pixel, and Google DoubleClick for Publishers, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for SEO with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with preloading of critical CSS and JS assets. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack supports a professional event website but should monitor third-party dependencies for security and performance impacts.
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.
