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

Tourisme Hérault operates an official regional tourism website promoting the Hérault region in Southern France. The site offers rich multimedia content, multilingual support, and detailed information about natural and cultural attractions, targeting tourists and holidaymakers. The business model focuses on tourism promotion and visitor engagement through surveys, videos, and inspirational content. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates modern analytics and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager and Matomo. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers are not detected and no explicit incident response contacts are provided. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional website presence. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-maintained but would benefit from improved transparency in domain registration and contact information.

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

4 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 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 positions itself as the official tourism portal for the Hérault region, leveraging partnerships with local tourism offices and bloggers. It targets leisure travelers interested in outdoor activities, cultural experiences, and Mediterranean beaches. The business benefits from a strong brand presence and multilingual content to attract international visitors. Revenue streams likely include regional funding and promotional partnerships. The site integrates social media and influencer content to enhance reach. Growth indicators include active content updates and engagement tools like surveys. The partnership ecosystem is broad, including local tourism destinations and media outlets. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing direct contact channels and domain legitimacy to strengthen business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. Use of Matomo analytics indicates a preference for privacy-respecting tools. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of explicit security or incident response policies are gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The missing WHOIS data is a notable risk factor for trust and domain legitimacy. Overall, the site is secure for visitors but could improve transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  4. Add clear company contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to facilitate user trust and support.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues arise.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building, integrating advanced JavaScript libraries such as Leaflet for maps, Swiper for sliders, and Fancybox for media display. Analytics are handled via Google Analytics and Matomo, with Google Tag Manager managing tags. The site uses lazy loading and responsive design for performance and mobile optimization. No hosting provider details were found. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are implemented well, including skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and incomplete security headers.
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.
