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

ONLYLYON is the official territorial marketing program for the Lyon metropolitan area, focusing on promoting tourism, business investment, education, and cultural activities. The website serves as a comprehensive portal for visitors, investors, students, and event organizers, supported by a network of ambassadors and partners. The site demonstrates a strong market position as a key promoter of Lyon's international ambitions, backed by public and private stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on the Roadiz CMS platform, uses modern web technologies, and integrates Google Analytics and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable anomaly that slightly reduces trustworthiness but does not detract from the professional presentation and content quality. Overall, the website is well-designed, user-friendly, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a credible and authoritative source for information about Lyon's metropolitan offerings.

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 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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 model revolves around territorial marketing and promotion, leveraging partnerships with local government entities, educational institutions, and private sector companies. The target audience includes tourists, students, business investors, and event planners. The website's ecosystem includes several related domains dedicated to specific sectors such as tourism, business, events, and education, indicating a diversified approach to market segmentation. The ambassador network enhances community engagement and international outreach. The site’s content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a medium-sized organizational structure with strong local influence. Revenue streams likely derive from public funding and partnerships rather than direct commercial sales. Strategic partnerships with local chambers of commerce, universities, and event centers strengthen its market position.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and includes essential security headers such as HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy, indicating adherence to best practices. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented via OreJime, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and readiness. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response policies and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  2. Add explicit contact information for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Roadiz CMS platform version 1.6.43 with a custom OnlyLyon theme. It uses modern front-end technologies including SVG icons, Google Fonts (Roboto), and asynchronous JavaScript loading for performance optimization. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and semantic HTML. Performance is moderate, with prefetching and preloading of resources. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Opportunities exist to enhance technical SEO and accessibility further by adding structured data beyond basic meta tags.
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.
