The website aciah-linux.org represents the Association A.C.I.A.H, a French non-profit organization dedicated to digital accessibility and inclusion. They provide an accessible Linux distribution called Aciah-Linux, along with tutorials, training, and personalized support primarily targeting people with disabilities, elderly users, and beginners. The association is supported by various regional and national partners and funders, indicating a solid community presence and trust. The website content is primarily in French with options for translation, and it is well-structured with good navigation and relevant educational content. Technically, the site uses the SPIP CMS with several plugins and is hosted by OVH, a reputable provider. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, it lacks some modern security practices such as DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, which is a compliance gap. No social media presence or direct contact emails/phones are visible, limiting direct communication channels. Overall, the site is trustworthy and serves a niche community effectively but could improve in security and privacy compliance.

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
13 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Network security
Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.
Critical
Critical Service Exposed: Telnet
Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access
What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN
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"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
The Association A.C.I.A.H operates in the technology and non-profit sectors, focusing on assistive technology and digital inclusion. Their business model revolves around providing free and accessible software solutions, tutorials, and training, supported by public and private funding. The organization targets vulnerable populations including people with disabilities and the elderly, primarily in France. Their market position is niche but important, addressing a critical social need. Partnerships with multiple recognized organizations and receipt of awards like the DMLA prize enhance their credibility. The website reflects a small-sized organization with a clear mission and consistent branding. Growth potential lies in expanding training offerings and accessibility advocacy.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers (such as CSP, HSTS), and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance and overall security hygiene. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided. The absence of security.txt and contact channels for security incidents limits transparency. The site does not use tracking or advertising scripts, reducing attack surface. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but improvements are needed to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.
Recommendations
Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to protect against common web attacks.
Create a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve vulnerability disclosure and response readiness.
Consider adding verified contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and communication.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on the SPIP CMS version 4.4.6, using jQuery and mediabox (lity.js) for media display, along with porte_plume and auto oembed plugins. The hosting provider is OVH sas, a reputable French hosting company. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Accessibility is good, reflecting the organization's mission. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security configurations. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security features.
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.
Services and partners the site relies on, identified automatically from its content. Only domains with a clear business relationship are listed.
