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

The website www.luzern.com serves as the official tourism guide for the city of Lucerne and the Lake Lucerne region in Switzerland. It provides comprehensive information on sightseeing, events, accommodations, excursions, and travel planning, targeting tourists and visitors. The site is well-branded and professionally designed, reflecting its role as a regional tourism authority. Technically, it is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend frameworks such as Vue.js and React, ensuring a fast, mobile-optimized, and accessible user experience. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS and security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, but the website content and structure appear trustworthy and official. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is a reliable resource for tourism information but would benefit from clarifying domain registration and enhancing security transparency.

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

6 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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

Lucerne Tourism operates as an important entity in the hospitality and tourism sector, focusing on destination marketing and visitor services. The website acts as a central hub for tourists seeking information about Lucerne's attractions, events, and accommodations. The business model revolves around providing authoritative content and facilitating bookings through partner domains. The site’s market position is strong as the official regional tourism authority, supported by partnerships with local hotels, business portals, and e-commerce platforms. The target audience includes leisure travelers, families, and cultural tourists. The digital presence indicates a mature marketing ecosystem with integrated tracking and analytics tools. Growth opportunities lie in expanding digital services and improving direct engagement channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and secure form implementations including CAPTCHA. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party tracking scripts like FuseDeck requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate privacy and security risks. Overall, the site is secure but could improve by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve legitimacy and trust.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  3. Implement and publicize an incident response contact or security@ email address.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with modern JavaScript frameworks Vue.js and React for dynamic frontend components. The infrastructure supports fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The site uses Webpack for module bundling and integrates third-party services such as CrowdRiff for gallery management and FuseDeck for tracking and analytics. Accessibility features and SEO optimizations are well implemented, contributing to a high-quality user experience. No significant technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the site uses HTTPS with strong security headers, indicating a professionally managed environment.
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.
