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

Ach@t Solutions is a French software group specializing in digital solutions for public procurement and transport management, serving a large client base of public and private sector entities. The company operates through six expert subsidiaries and offers innovative digital services including AI and data management. The website is professionally designed using Drupal 8 and modern web technologies, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and policies are missing. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the overall business credibility remains high due to consistent branding and certifications. The site is free of adult or questionable content and complies with GDPR requirements.

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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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

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

  3. 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

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company holds a leading position in the French market for public procurement software, with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries covering complementary sectors such as transport and healthcare. Their business model focuses on software licensing and digital service portals, targeting public administrations and private partners. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and a large client base indicates a medium-sized enterprise with growth potential. The company maintains active marketing and communication channels including a blog and social media presence. Certifications such as NR Niveau 1 reinforce their commitment to responsible digital practices.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent aligned with GDPR, indicating a baseline compliance with privacy and security standards. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) and lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts suggest room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The company should consider publishing a security.txt file and enhancing security headers to strengthen their security posture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 8 CMS with a modern front-end stack including Bootstrap 3.4.1, jQuery, FontAwesome, and Slick Slider. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets efficiently and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and SEO. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site uses external services for analytics and social media integration, maintaining a good balance between functionality 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.
