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

Tours Métropole Val de Loire is the official metropolitan government entity serving the Tours metropolitan area in France. The website provides comprehensive information about local government services, urban projects, ecological initiatives, and citizen services. It targets residents and stakeholders within the metropolitan region, offering online access to administrative procedures and event information. The site is well-positioned as a regional authority with a clear public service mission. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Slick carousel, and Matomo analytics. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates compliance with EU data protection regulations. However, the site lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The use of Matomo analytics with DoNotTrack enabled shows privacy-conscious tracking. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern but likely due to AFNIC or privacy settings rather than malicious intent. Overall, the site appears trustworthy and professionally maintained. Recommendations include adding security headers, publishing a security policy and incident response contact, and ensuring regular CMS and module updates to maintain security. Enhancing transparency with a vulnerability disclosure policy would further improve trust. The domain WHOIS gap should be investigated to confirm registration legitimacy.

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

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.

Business context

Business profile

Tours Métropole Val de Loire operates as a government metropolitan authority providing essential public services such as water management, waste collection, urban development, and cultural programming. Its business model is public sector service delivery funded by local government budgets. The website supports citizen engagement and administrative efficiency through online services. The organization maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with dedicated subdomains for mobility, entrepreneurship, employment, tourism, and mapping services, reflecting a comprehensive regional governance approach. The site content and structure indicate a medium-sized public entity with a stable market position in regional governance. The digital presence supports transparency and accessibility, targeting residents and local businesses. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a preference for privacy-respecting tools. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall credibility given the official branding and contact information.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a baseline security and privacy posture. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. The site does not expose sensitive data in the HTML and uses Matomo analytics with DoNotTrack enabled, reflecting privacy-aware tracking practices. No explicit security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which are best practices for transparency and readiness. The Drupal 7 CMS is known to require careful patching; the site should ensure all modules and core are up to date to avoid vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with additional headers, policies, and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and responsible disclosure.
  4. Regularly update Drupal core and all modules to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve the absence of WHOIS data to ensure domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing a range of JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1, jQuery UI, Slick carousel, Blazy for lazy loading, and Matomo for analytics. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain and trusted CDNs such as Google Ajax libraries. The presence of responsive meta tags and mobile-specific header elements indicates good mobile optimization. Accessibility features such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support are present. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading implemented to optimize image loading. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags. The site uses a cookie consent banner with opt-in mechanism, reflecting compliance with EU cookie laws. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is mature but based on an older CMS version, which may require ongoing maintenance to avoid technical debt.
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.
