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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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 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';…

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company operates in the hospitality sector, focusing on providing event spaces for exhibitions and congresses. Its target customers include event organizers and exhibitors primarily in the Amiens region. The business benefits from a consistent brand presence and a website that supports its market positioning as a regional event center. Revenue streams likely come from venue rentals and associated event services. The use of modern analytics and cookie consent tools indicates an understanding of digital marketing and compliance. However, the lack of explicit contact details and WHOIS transparency may impact customer trust and partnership opportunities. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The company appears to maintain a moderate size and regional focus without indications of a larger corporate structure.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent tools, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests potential areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Matomo requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to increase business credibility and user trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize security risks from external sources.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a solid technical foundation. It uses popular libraries and services such as FontAwesome for icons, Leaflet for maps, Slick Carousel for UI components, and Tarteaucitron for cookie consent management. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager and Matomo, providing both commercial and open-source tracking capabilities. The site appears mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features such as an accessibility widget. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve page load times. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business needs, though hosting provider details are not available. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve SEO metadata completeness for better search engine visibility.
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.
