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

ViaMichelin is a well-established online travel and mobility platform operated under the Michelin brand, providing detailed maps, route planning, traffic information, and travel-related services such as hotel and restaurant searches. The website targets general travelers and drivers primarily in Germany and Europe, leveraging Michelin's strong market position and brand recognition. Technically, the site uses modern web frameworks like SvelteKit and MapLibre GL JS, combined with a comprehensive consent management system (Didomi) to ensure GDPR compliance. Advertising is integrated via reputable ad networks with user consent. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and consent management, though the absence of explicit security headers and published security policies suggests room for improvement. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and provides a good user experience with extensive content and clear navigation.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

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

ViaMichelin operates in the transportation sector, focusing on digital mapping and travel planning services. Its business model includes advertising and partnerships, supported by a large user base seeking route planning and travel information. The site integrates with Michelin's restaurant guide and other regional domains, indicating a broad partnership ecosystem. The platform's growth is supported by modern technology adoption and compliance with privacy regulations, positioning it competitively in the European travel services market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and a robust consent management platform ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published incident response or security policies limit transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing security policies and incident response contacts to enhance trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising partners to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack centered on SvelteKit for frontend rendering and MapLibre GL JS for interactive maps. Consent management is handled by Didomi, integrated with Google Tag Manager for analytics and advertising. Advertising is managed via Prebid.js and Google Ad Manager, indicating a programmatic ad setup. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site lacks explicit CMS identification and hosting provider details. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include missing security headers and potential complexity from multiple third-party scripts.
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.
