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

UP Spot operates a French-language website promoting a mobile application for guided tourist visits, focusing on cultural, historical, and architectural heritage. The business targets tourists and residents seeking flexible, self-paced tours via curated circuits with multimedia content. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates modern web technologies including Bootstrap 4, jQuery, and Google Analytics. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance, and social media presence is established on Facebook and Instagram. However, direct contact emails and phone numbers are not explicitly provided, relying instead on contact forms. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security policies or vulnerability disclosure channels.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 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

  3. 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

UP Spot occupies a niche in the hospitality sector, offering digital guided tours primarily in French regions such as Hauts-de-France and Île-de-France. The business model centers on selling audio-guided circuits via a mobile app, appealing to tourists and local residents. The company leverages professional guides and offers content tailored for families and children. The website's content and structure support clear navigation and user engagement, with calls to action for app downloads and circuit purchases. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. The company demonstrates moderate digital maturity with room for enhanced security transparency and direct contact information.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. It uses reputable analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and AddThis. No security headers were detected in the provided data, representing an area for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be strengthened by adding security headers, explicit policies, and disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate risks from external dependencies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the e-monsite CMS platform, utilizing Bootstrap 4 and jQuery 3.6.3 for responsive design and interactivity. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and performance monitoring. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit, and Ionicons provide iconography. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. There is no indication of hosting provider or CDN usage from the data. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility improvements are recommended to modernize the infrastructure further.
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.
