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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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 organization operates as a small-sized, essential entity in the hospitality and government sectors, focusing on destination marketing and tourism promotion. It benefits from partnerships with state and regional tourism bodies, local government, and commerce chambers, enhancing its market position. The business model centers on promoting Delaware County as a travel destination to boost local economic success. The website supports this with rich content, event calendars, and social media engagement, indicating a mature digital presence. Revenue streams likely include tourism-related services and partnerships. Growth indicators include recent domain registration aligned with a refreshed marketing initiative and active social media channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise, and protection against right-click image theft. However, the absence of DNSSEC, Content-Security-Policy headers, and a security.txt file indicates gaps in defense-in-depth and vulnerability disclosure readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site lacks explicit incident response contact channels, which could be improved. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the privacy policy but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, posing a compliance risk. Overall, the security posture is adequate but can be enhanced with recommended best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5, jQuery, GSAP, ScrollMagic, and various plugins for SEO, events, and social media integration. Performance is moderate with multiple external resources loaded asynchronously. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented using Yoast SEO Premium with structured data (JSON-LD) for LocalBusiness and WebSite schemas. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy, consistent with the registrar data. Some technical debt is noted in missing security headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
