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

The Foire Internationale de Montpellier website represents a regional event organizer hosting an annual international fair in Montpellier, France. The site provides comprehensive information about the event, including exhibitor services, visitor information, ticketing, and event programming. The business is positioned as a key regional player with partnerships from local government and commercial entities. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and several modern plugins for SEO, performance, and GDPR compliance. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and includes cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and anti-spam measures, though some security headers and explicit policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy, but the professional content and consistent branding mitigate this risk. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves its audience effectively.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…
  3. 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

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 business operates in the hospitality and event management sector, focusing on organizing a large-scale international fair. Its revenue streams likely include exhibitor fees, ticket sales, and sponsorships. The target audience includes exhibitors, visitors, and families interested in cultural and commercial exhibitions. The company benefits from strong regional government partnerships and a well-established brand presence. The website supports business growth through digital marketing, newsletter subscriptions, and social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes local government bodies and commercial sponsors, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via a compliant banner. Anti-spam measures are implemented using La Sentinelle. However, the site lacks explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and enhancing header configurations to strengthen its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO for content optimization. Performance is moderate, supported by WP Rocket caching and lazy loading techniques. The site integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented with meta tags and structured data. The technical stack is standard for event websites, with no critical technical debt detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance.
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.
