The Office de Tourisme de l'Avesnois operates a professional and comprehensive tourism website focused on promoting the Avesnois region in France. The site offers rich content including event agendas, accommodation, dining, cultural and natural attractions, targeting tourists and visitors interested in regional experiences. The website is well-branded, mobile-optimized, and uses modern technologies such as WordPress, Yoast SEO, and Matomo analytics, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, though improvements could be made by adding security headers and a cookie consent mechanism to enhance GDPR compliance.

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

8 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 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 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

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 is positioned as an official regional tourism office, leveraging partnerships with local communities and natural parks to provide comprehensive visitor information. Its business model centers on tourism promotion, event marketing, and local culture dissemination. The website's integration with partner domains and social media channels supports a collaborative ecosystem. The target audience includes families, couples, and individual travelers seeking nature, culture, and leisure activities in the Avesnois area. The site’s content quality and navigation support strong user engagement, which is critical for tourism conversion and regional economic impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and secure form handling. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file indicates limited formal incident response readiness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed through a privacy policy but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the site against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency regarding tracking.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting and incident response.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness and reduce suspicion related to privacy protection.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them to maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization and uses jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics and GTranslate for multilingual support via subdomains. The site loads fonts and assets efficiently with preloading and CDN usage (jsdelivr). Mobile optimization is excellent with responsive design and viewport settings. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich media content such as videos and sliders. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA roles and landmarks. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a positive user experience and SEO performance.
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.
