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

The website www.myvaud.ch serves as the official tourism portal for the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland, providing comprehensive information on destinations, activities, practical advice, business events, and inspirational content for visitors and locals alike. It is positioned as a key regional tourism resource with a professional and consistent brand presence. The site leverages modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Matomo Analytics, and Cookiebot for analytics and privacy compliance. The technical infrastructure is solid, with HTTPS enforced and security headers implemented, contributing to a good security posture. However, the absence of an explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages, as well as the lack of visible contact information in the provided HTML snippet, represent areas for improvement in privacy compliance and user trust. Overall, the site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a safe and trustworthy user experience.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 business operates in the hospitality and government sectors, focusing on tourism promotion within the Canton of Vaud. It targets tourists, event planners, and local visitors, offering services such as destination guides, event calendars, accommodation booking support, and sustainability information. The business model is primarily informational and promotional, supporting local tourism stakeholders. The website's market position is strong as an official regional tourism platform, with partnerships evident through linked domains like mycity.travel and shop.myvaud.ch. Growth potential lies in expanding digital engagement and enhancing privacy and security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers in place. The use of Cookiebot indicates attention to cookie consent and privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits the site's readiness for security incident management. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated but not fully documented. Enhancing transparency around data protection and incident response would strengthen security culture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy documents to improve legal transparency.
  3. Provide explicit contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security inquiries.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Optimize website performance further to improve loading speed and user experience.

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.
