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

Tourisme Nord vaudois operates as a regional tourism information center promoting the Nord vaudois region in Switzerland. The website provides cultural, adventure, and local terroir information targeting tourists and visitors. It maintains a professional online presence with multilingual support and social media integration, primarily Facebook. The business model focuses on tourism promotion and visitor engagement through digital content and event listings. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder, hosted likely by Infomaniak. It employs modern web technologies including HTTPS, jQuery, Font Awesome, and cookie consent via tarteaucitron.io. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager and HubSpot are in use, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks publicly available privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and technical implementation. However, it would benefit from publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies to improve compliance 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

3 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 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';…

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 positions itself as a key regional tourism promoter for the Nord vaudois area, leveraging digital content to attract and inform visitors. Its competitive advantage lies in localized cultural and adventure offerings, supported by official branding and social media presence. Revenue streams likely include regional tourism funding and partnerships. The target customers are tourists interested in Swiss regional experiences. Growth indicators include multilingual support and integration of marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms and hosting providers. Operationally, the site is maintained with modern CMS and optimization plugins, indicating a focus on user experience and performance.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, reflecting GDPR awareness. However, the absence of explicit privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting transparency. The use of third-party scripts like HubSpot and Google Tag Manager introduces tracking but appears managed via consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. To enhance security maturity, the organization should formalize and publish security and privacy documentation and conduct regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Develop and disclose security policies and incident response procedures, including dedicated contact channels.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to enhance transparency and security posture.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with Elementor as the page builder, ensuring ease of content management and design flexibility. Hosting appears to be provided by Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss hosting provider. The site uses modern front-end technologies including jQuery and Font Awesome icons. Performance is moderate, with optimization plugins like PhastPress in use. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Mobile responsiveness is good, and cookie consent is managed via tarteaucitron.io. Technical risks are low but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing monitoring. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and formalize privacy and security documentation.
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.
