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

Vendee Tourisme operates as a regional tourism promotion website for the Vendée region in France, offering vacation planning, accommodation booking, event information, and travel guides. The site targets tourists and visitors interested in exploring Vendée, positioning itself as an official and trusted regional tourism authority. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrates analytics and advertising tools like Matomo and Criteo. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and branding appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity with room for improvement in security and compliance documentation.

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 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 17 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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 website serves as a key digital platform for promoting tourism in the Vendée region, leveraging partnerships with local congress and professional tourism entities. Its business model revolves around providing comprehensive travel information and facilitating bookings, supported by advertising and retargeting services. The target market includes families, couples, and individual travelers seeking leisure, cultural, and nature experiences in Vendée. The site’s integration of event calendars and thematic guides indicates a strategy to engage visitors year-round. While the platform is well-branded and content-rich, the use of an older CMS version and lack of transparent privacy policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. Strategic partnerships with related domains enhance its ecosystem and market reach.

Security posture

The website maintains a baseline security posture with HTTPS encryption and cookie consent implementation. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. The use of Drupal 7, an older CMS version, could expose the site to known vulnerabilities if not properly patched. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that warrants further investigation to confirm domain legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Upgrade or ensure Drupal 7 CMS is fully patched and consider migration to a supported version for better security.
  4. Add a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  5. Verify domain registration status and WHOIS information to ensure legitimacy and prevent potential trust issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 3.7.1 and jQuery UI 1.10.2. It integrates third-party services including Matomo for analytics, Criteo for retargeting, AddToAny for social sharing, and Elfsight widgets for enhanced functionality. The site employs responsive design techniques and preconnect/dns-prefetch hints to optimize resource loading. Performance is moderate, with multiple aggregated CSS and JS files indicating optimization efforts. However, the use of an older CMS version may introduce technical debt and security risks. The site lacks visible security headers and explicit SEO meta tags beyond basics. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
