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

BAM - La Voie des Sens is a niche tourism operator in Switzerland offering unique gourmet experiences aboard the historic Bière Apples Morges (BAM) train. The company focuses on culinary outings such as gastronomic meals, fondue, beer and burgers, brunch, and wine pairings, targeting tourists and locals interested in regional terroir and heritage. The website is professionally designed using WordPress and the Divi theme, with good SEO and mobile optimization. However, it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers. Contact options are limited to a newsletter subscription form, with no direct emails or phone numbers visible. Social media presence on Facebook and Instagram supports brand trust. Overall, the site is credible and well-positioned in its market niche but should improve privacy compliance and security headers to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. DNS health

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

    • High

      Weak SPF Policy

      SPF record has permissive policy allowing any server to send email

      What to do: Use -all or ~all qualifier for better email security

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The business operates in the transportation and hospitality sectors, leveraging historic train rides combined with gourmet culinary experiences to create a unique tourism offering. The company has received international recognition, notably the Global Best Of Wine Tourism award in 2024, enhancing its market position. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales for themed train outings, private event rentals, and partnerships with local producers. The website links to an external partner for online reservations, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The target customers are food and wine enthusiasts, tourists, and groups seeking unique experiences in the Léman and Jura regions. The business model is experience-centric, focusing on quality and heritage, with a small company size and a founding date consistent with domain registration.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which could mitigate risks like XSS and protocol downgrade attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The contact form uses nonce tokens to prevent CSRF attacks, indicating some security awareness. The absence of privacy and cookie policies is a compliance risk under GDPR and similar regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency in case of security events. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, including abuse and security email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, a popular and flexible CMS platform. It uses modern web technologies including jQuery and Google Fonts. SEO is enhanced via the Yoast SEO plugin, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading implemented for images and videos. Hosting appears to be provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and incomplete privacy documentation. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but can benefit from security and compliance 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.
