Lausanne Tourisme operates the official tourism website for the city of Lausanne, Switzerland, providing comprehensive information on local events, attractions, accommodations, and business services related to tourism. The website targets tourists, local visitors, and business event planners, positioning itself as a key destination marketing organization for the Olympic Capital. The site is built on WordPress with multilingual support and uses modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Slick Slider to deliver a rich user experience. The design is professional, mobile-optimized, and content-rich, supporting excellent user engagement and navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement and anti-clickjacking measures, though explicit security headers could be enhanced.

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

5 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 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';…

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 comprehensive portal for tourism in Lausanne, offering event promotion, ticketing, local experiences, and business event support. Its market position is strong as the official tourism board, leveraging partnerships with local congress centers and media outlets. The business model focuses on destination marketing and visitor engagement, with revenue likely derived from ticket sales, partnerships, and promotional activities. The target audience includes leisure tourists, families, and business travelers. The site’s multilingual capabilities and rich content indicate a mature digital presence with growth potential in digital engagement and e-commerce for tourism services.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes basic security measures such as anti-clickjacking scripts. Google Tag Manager is used for controlled script loading and analytics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present and should be implemented to enhance security. The absence of visible incident response or security policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional headers and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and verify full security headers including CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  3. Add visible contact information including official emails and phone numbers for visitor support and incident reporting.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress with WPML for multilingual support, using jQuery and Slick Slider for interactive UI components. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement in load times and resource optimization. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, but the absence of some security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for technical enhancement to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.
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.
