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

The website www.peru.travel is the official tourism portal for Peru, managed by Promperú, a government entity responsible for promoting tourism and exports. It provides comprehensive travel information, destination guides, and experiences targeting international tourists interested in visiting Peru. The site is professionally designed with consistent branding and uses modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Leaflet maps, and integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Crazy Egg, and Hotjar. The technical infrastructure reflects a moderate level of digital maturity with good mobile optimization and HTTPS security. However, the presence of exposed credentials in client-side JavaScript and the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate gaps in security and privacy compliance. The WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is typical for government-related domains to prevent abuse. Overall, the website is trustworthy and authoritative but would benefit from improved security hygiene and privacy 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.

Priority findings

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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, Cloudflare

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

Promperú operates this site as a government tourism promotion platform, positioning itself as the authoritative source for travel information about Peru. The business model is informational and promotional, aimed at increasing tourism inflows. The site targets international travelers and tourism stakeholders. Revenue streams are likely government-funded with possible partnerships in tourism services. The site’s ecosystem includes integrations with major analytics and marketing tools, indicating a focus on data-driven marketing. The lack of direct contact information or business registration details on the site is consistent with its government entity status. The site maintains strong branding consistency and trust signals through official logos and secure connections.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS and uses multiple tracking and analytics scripts, which are standard but raise privacy considerations. A critical security concern is the exposure of user credentials in client-side JavaScript, which could be exploited if not properly secured. The absence of security headers and privacy policies reduces the overall security posture. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, indicating open accessibility. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not present, which is a gap for transparency and security readiness. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires remediation of exposed credentials and improved privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Remove or secure any exposed credentials in client-side scripts to prevent unauthorized access.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  4. Consolidate and audit tracking scripts to minimize privacy impact and improve user trust.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve security transparency.

  2. No WHOIS data available due to privacy or query failure
  3. Exposed credentials in client-side JavaScript pose a security risk

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Leaflet for interactive maps, and Firebase for authentication services. Multiple analytics and marketing tools are integrated, including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Crazy Egg, and Hotjar, indicating a data-driven approach to user engagement. The site loads fonts and stylesheets efficiently with preload hints. However, the presence of exposed credentials in JavaScript is a significant technical risk. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading, and mobile optimization is good. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO optimization is basic with meta viewport and charset tags but lacks structured data or Open Graph metadata.
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.
