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

achatpublic.info is a French media and information platform specializing in public procurement news, updates, and documentation. It serves public sector professionals, buyers, and suppliers by providing continuous coverage of market developments, regulatory changes, and practical tools. The website demonstrates a solid market position within the niche of government procurement information. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS, uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap and Google Tag Manager, and implements a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism via Didomi. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy or query failure, which slightly reduces transparency but is common for such websites. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-optimized for its audience.

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. 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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 platform targets a specialized segment of the government sector focused on public procurement. Its business model revolves around providing news, analysis, and resources to public buyers and suppliers, likely monetized through subscriptions or advertising. The site maintains active social media channels on X (Twitter), YouTube, and LinkedIn, enhancing its reach and engagement. The absence of explicit contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on content delivery rather than direct sales. The website's consistent branding and quality content support a medium-sized operation with a stable market presence in France.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a reputable consent management platform, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be addressed to improve security. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is found, which limits transparency for security researchers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policies are not publicly documented, suggesting room for improvement in security governance and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security transparency.
  3. Add clear contact information including security and incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal CMS with Bootstrap framework and integrates multiple third-party services including HubSpot for analytics and marketing, Google Tag Manager, and Didomi for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and better documentation of policies. The presence of multiple external domains for scripts and assets is typical but requires ongoing monitoring for security and privacy 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.
