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. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 serves a niche regional tourism market in Switzerland, focusing on Echallens and the Gros-de-Vaud area. It leverages digital tools such as WooCommerce Bookings to facilitate tourism-related services, indicating a revenue stream from bookings or tourism packages. The target audience includes tourists, cultural enthusiasts, and nature lovers. The site’s use of Yoast SEO and structured data suggests an intent to maximize search visibility and user engagement. The absence of detailed business registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence, but the WHOIS data confirms a consistent and legitimate registration aligned with the website’s regional focus. The business operates in the hospitality sector with a small organizational size, likely supported by local government or tourism boards.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. The use of up-to-date WordPress plugins and themes is implied but should be regularly verified to avoid vulnerabilities. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a regional tourism site but could benefit from enhanced headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Establish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using the Enfold theme and WooCommerce plugins, including WooCommerce Bookings for service reservations. It incorporates popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper, and uses FontAwesome for iconography. SEO is enhanced through the Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format, improving search engine visibility. The site is mobile responsive and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. Performance is moderate, with minified CSS and JavaScript assets served. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the domain is secured with an SSL certificate. Technical debt appears low, though improvements in security headers and accessibility could be addressed to modernize the platform further.
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.
