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

Foire de Mulhouse is a well-established regional event organizer in France, hosting an annual fair with cultural themes and exhibitions. The website presents the 79th edition scheduled for May 2026, highlighting Italy as the thematic focus. The business operates primarily in the hospitality and event sector, targeting general public visitors interested in fairs and cultural events. The company behind the event is Mulhouse Expo S.A.E.M.L, a medium-sized entity with a long history since 2011. The website content is professionally presented in French, with clear navigation and relevant event information. Social media integration and partner links enhance its market presence. Technically, the website uses a traditional tech stack including jQuery 1.11.2, Bootstrap, and Google Analytics. Hosting is provided by OCI CLOUD as per WHOIS data. The site is mobile-optimized with good design quality, though some technical improvements are possible, such as updating libraries and enhancing accessibility. SEO is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (assumed from domain and modern standards), but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance. The contact form collects user data but lacks visible anti-spam protections. No incident response or security policy information is provided. WHOIS data is consistent and supports the legitimacy of the domain and business. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and security hardening to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. 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

  3. 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';…

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 Foire de Mulhouse holds a strong regional position as a cultural and commercial fair organizer with a history of nearly 15 years. Its business model revolves around event hosting, exhibitions, and cultural programming, generating revenue through visitor attendance and exhibitor participation. The partnership with Parc Expo and affiliation with Foires de France indicate a solid ecosystem. The target audience is broad, including families and cultural enthusiasts. The website's content and social media presence support marketing efforts and community engagement. Growth potential lies in expanding digital presence and improving user engagement through enhanced online services.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate. The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory, but lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options), cookie consent, and anti-bot measures on forms. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which limits transparency. Data protection statements in the legal modal indicate awareness of GDPR but lack operational details. Overall, the site is functional and safe but requires improvements to meet modern security and privacy standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR requirements.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Introduce CAPTCHA or other anti-spam protections on the contact form.
  5. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a classic web stack with Bootstrap and jQuery 1.11.2, supplemented by custom CSS and JavaScript. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for tracking. The site is hosted by OCI CLOUD as per WHOIS registrar data. Performance is moderate with no explicit speed optimizations detected. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic. SEO metadata is present but minimal. The site lacks modern CMS indicators and appears to be custom-built or static. Technical debt is indicated by the use of older libraries and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack, improve performance, and enhance security.
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.
