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.

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 Louvre operates as a large government and non-profit cultural institution with a strong market position as one of the world's leading art museums. Its business model includes public funding, ticket sales, memberships, donations, and e-commerce through its official boutique. The website targets a broad audience including tourists, families, educators, and researchers. The institution maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with dedicated domains for ticketing, collections, and press. Growth indicators include active event programming and multimedia content offerings. Strategic observations highlight the Louvre's emphasis on digital engagement and educational outreach, leveraging technology to enhance visitor experience and global reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact incident handling readiness. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy demonstrate compliance with data protection regulations. Recommendations include publishing explicit security and incident response information, establishing a vulnerability disclosure channel, and providing direct security contact details to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear security contact information for reporting incidents or vulnerabilities.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance to achieve full conformance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved SEO. The use of SVG graphics and video content enhances visual appeal while maintaining performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as keyboard navigation and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in media delivery and script loading. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details were not identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience but could benefit from ongoing performance tuning and accessibility 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.
