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.

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.

Missing X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

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
The Canton of Vaud leverages this website to promote its local economy by certifying and marketing over 1800 local products, supporting producers, and encouraging local consumption. The business model is centered on regional promotion and quality assurance through labels, enhancing consumer trust and economic sustainability. The site’s ecosystem includes partnerships with local tourism and gastronomy guides, and it maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. The presence of annual reports and detailed contact information indicates transparency and organizational maturity. Growth indicators include active campaigns and multimedia content to boost visibility. The platform effectively supports the Canton’s strategic goals in economic development and cultural promotion.
Security posture
The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of consent management tools (Cookiebot), and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Tracking scripts are managed responsibly with user consent. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are found, which could be improved to demonstrate readiness. Overall, the site balances usability and security well, with room for incremental enhancements.
Recommendations
Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
Continue monitoring privacy compliance and update cookie consent mechanisms as regulations evolve.

The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD).

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.
Services and partners the site relies on, identified automatically from its content. Only domains with a clear business relationship are listed.
