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

La Côte - Tourism operates as a regional tourism information portal for the La Côte area in Switzerland, providing comprehensive details on destinations, events, accommodations, and local services. The website targets tourists, business travelers, and local residents, positioning itself as a key regional tourism authority. Technically, the site uses a custom CMS (MyCity Tourism Information System), integrates modern JavaScript libraries, and employs Google Tag Manager and CookieYes for analytics and cookie consent. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content relevance. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site is legitimate, professionally maintained, and safe for general audiences.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: backup-mx.edsi-tech.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

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 as a destination marketing organization focusing on hospitality and tourism. It offers services such as event listings, accommodation booking, and business travel support. The presence of partner domains like Morges Tourisme and Living in Nyon indicates a collaborative regional tourism ecosystem. The business model revolves around providing tourism information and facilitating bookings, targeting visitors to the La Côte region. The site’s content and structure suggest a small-sized organization with a clear focus on regional tourism promotion.

Security posture

The website has a good security baseline with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of explicit security or incident response policies and contact channels is a gap in compliance and readiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident contacts to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies for better privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS tailored for tourism information, leveraging JavaScript and SVG icons for UI elements. It integrates Google Tag Manager and CookieYes for analytics and cookie management. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. The absence of detected frameworks suggests a lightweight custom solution. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modern security and performance enhancements.
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.
