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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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 company holds a strong regional position as the official gateway for event hosting and tourism promotion in Grand Nancy. Its business model leverages public ownership and partnerships to provide comprehensive event services and tourism marketing. Key revenue streams likely include event hosting fees, sponsorships, and public funding. The presence of multiple social media channels and a detailed event calendar indicates active engagement with both professional and general audiences. The partnership with the local tourism office and other regional entities strengthens its ecosystem and market reach. The company’s focus on sustainability and RSE (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives suggests alignment with modern business values and community engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting compliance with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of advanced security headers and a dedicated security or incident response policy page indicates moderate security maturity. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates and monitoring to mitigate plugin-related vulnerabilities. No incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to reduce vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by providing detailed cookie and data retention policies accessible from the website footer.
  5. Consider appointing and publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using a variety of plugins including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, WPML for multilingual support, and Animate It for UI effects. It uses jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive elements and Google Fonts for typography. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Matomo, indicating a balanced approach to user tracking and privacy. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and images. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the domain uses Namebay SAM as registrar. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with opportunities for further optimization and security 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.
