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

42 Angoulême is a French free computer programming school located in Charente, France, targeting individuals seeking accessible IT education without diploma requirements. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, emphasizing its educational mission. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, uses modern tracking and consent tools like Google Analytics and Cookiebot, and is hosted with reputable providers including Cloudflare DNS. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant cookie consent, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 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
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 educational entity focused on free IT training, leveraging a straightforward business model without commercial transactions on the site. Its market position is local and niche, serving the Charente region. The use of Google Analytics and Weborama indicates some marketing and retargeting efforts. The absence of detailed business contact info and terms of service suggests a focus on education rather than commercial operations. The domain age and WHOIS data align well with the business history, supporting legitimacy. The partnership ecosystem is limited to standard service providers with no identified subsidiaries or partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and GDPR-compliant cookie consent via Cookiebot. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy documentation are absent, which could hinder response to security incidents. The site uses standard WordPress and jQuery libraries, which should be regularly updated to mitigate risks. Overall, security practices are adequate for an educational site but could be improved to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response.
  2. Add visible contact information including security or abuse contact emails.
  3. Implement and publish terms of service to clarify user agreements.
  4. Configure and deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with a custom theme and uses jQuery 3.7.1. It integrates Google Analytics via gtag.js and manages cookie consent with Cookiebot, which is well configured for GDPR compliance. Hosting uses Cloudflare DNS and registrar is GANDI, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Some inline CSS and JavaScript are present, with no obvious technical debt or deprecated libraries. The site could benefit from improved security headers and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
