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

The Guam Visitors Bureau operates as the official tourism authority for Guam, providing comprehensive data, marketing, and visitor safety resources to promote tourism and support industry stakeholders. The website serves as a central hub for tourism statistics, industry updates, procurement opportunities, and membership information, targeting both local businesses and visitors. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and Google Translate for analytics and multilingual support. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS and uses HTTPS with domain locking for security. While DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or incident response policies are published, the overall security posture is solid with no critical vulnerabilities detected. The website demonstrates good content quality, accessibility, and SEO practices, with clear navigation and professional branding consistent with a government entity. Contact information and social media presence further enhance trust. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve security transparency and compliance.

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

8 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 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Business profile

Guam Visitors Bureau holds a strong market position as the official government tourism agency for Guam, focusing on hospitality and government sectors. Its business model revolves around tourism promotion, data dissemination, and industry support. The bureau leverages partnerships with regional tourism organizations and government platforms to extend its reach. The website's content and services indicate a medium-sized organization with a stable foundation since 2012. The bureau targets tourism industry stakeholders, local businesses, and visitors, providing valuable insights and marketing tools. The presence of procurement and membership services suggests diversified revenue streams and community engagement. The site’s multilingual support and social media integration indicate efforts to reach international markets, especially key visitor countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and the US mainland.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, enhancing availability and security. Domain registration includes multiple client status prohibitions to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor security gap. No security.txt or explicit security policies are published, and no incident response contact channels are provided. Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization, reflecting privacy awareness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses standard security best practices but could improve transparency and defense-in-depth by enabling DNSSEC and publishing security policies. Overall, the security posture is good but not comprehensive.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage in accessible documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS, leveraging jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Carousel and Glide.js for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics with anonymized IP tracking and Google Translate for multilingual support. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS, providing DNS-level security and performance benefits. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, including text resizing and high contrast modes. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and lazy loading of images. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and adding security.txt would modernize the security posture further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience.
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.
