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.
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.

Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The website targets tourists, event planners, and regional visitors, offering trip planning tools, event calendars, and accommodation guides. It operates under a government-affiliated regional growth agency, focusing on hospitality and tourism sectors. The business model is destination marketing, leveraging newsletters, social media, and partnerships to drive visitor engagement. The site integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools, indicating a data-driven approach to audience targeting and campaign effectiveness. The Rainbow Registered certification signals inclusivity and community engagement. While the domain WHOIS data is missing, the operational professionalism and content quality suggest a legitimate and important regional entity with medium organizational size.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS and integrates CAPTCHA on forms, reducing risk of automated abuse. Multiple tracking pixels and marketing scripts are present, which require ongoing security audits to prevent vulnerabilities. The lack of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that should be addressed to mitigate clickjacking and content injection risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are published, limiting transparency in security management. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, aligning with GDPR principles. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved with enhanced headers, documented incident response, and vulnerability disclosure.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact channels.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security vulnerabilities.
Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve trust and transparency.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging jQuery and Google Maps API for interactive features. It uses multiple third-party services including Zoho Campaigns for email marketing, CrowdRiff for media galleries, and StackAdapt for advertising. The site loads asynchronously many scripts to optimize performance, though the overall loading speed is moderate. Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive video and navigation. Accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles are present. SEO is supported by canonical links, hreflang tags, and structured navigation. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, with opportunities to enhance security headers and streamline third-party dependencies.
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.
