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

The website www.visitstrasbourg.fr serves as the official online presence of the Office eurométropolitain de tourisme, des loisirs et des congrès de Strasbourg, a public tourism office dedicated to promoting Strasbourg and its surrounding region. It provides comprehensive information on local attractions, events, leisure activities, and offers services such as the Strasbourg City Card. The site targets tourists, visitors, and event attendees, positioning itself as a key regional tourism resource. The business model is primarily informational and promotional, supported by public funding and tourism-related services. Technically, the website is built on the WordPress CMS platform, utilizing the Elementor page builder and several plugins including Rank Math SEO and GDPR cookie consent tools. The infrastructure supports modern web standards with responsive design, SEO optimization, and moderate performance. The site integrates tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel, with user consent mechanisms in place to comply with GDPR. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, employs standard security headers, and implements cookie consent banners. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a security.txt file and explicit incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure and incident management readiness. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly platform for tourism promotion. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data for the domain slightly reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing accessibility, publishing security policies, and establishing formal vulnerability disclosure channels to further strengthen security posture and user trust.

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

  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

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 Office eurométropolitain de tourisme, des loisirs et des congrès de Strasbourg operates as an essential public entity within the hospitality and government sectors, focusing on tourism promotion. Its market positioning as the official tourism office grants it a competitive advantage in regional branding and visitor engagement. Revenue streams likely include public funding, city card sales, and partnerships with local businesses. The target customer segments are tourists, event participants, and leisure seekers. Growth indicators include multilingual content and active social media presence. The partnership ecosystem includes digital marketing and analytics providers but no direct commercial subsidiaries. The organization's operations emphasize cultural promotion and visitor services, with strategic opportunities in digital engagement and accessibility enhancements.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels is managed with user consent, mitigating privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing incident response and disclosure processes and enhancing accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information on the website to enhance readiness.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust WordPress CMS platform with Elementor as the primary page builder, enabling flexible and modern design. The tech stack includes jQuery, Smart Slider 3 for interactive content, and Rank Math for SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in load times and resource optimization. Mobile responsiveness is well implemented, ensuring usability across devices. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential technical debt in compliance with accessibility standards. The site leverages standard security headers and HTTPS, indicating a secure hosting environment. Opportunities exist to modernize scripts, improve caching strategies, and enhance accessibility to reduce technical risks and improve overall user experience.
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.
