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

ACIAH is a French non-profit organization dedicated to digital inclusion and accessibility, primarily targeting seniors, people with disabilities, and those less familiar with digital technology. They offer a simplified Linux system (ACIAH-Linux), workshops, personalized support, and educational resources to foster autonomy and digital literacy. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses a mature technology stack including SPIP CMS and Bootstrap. The hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable registrar, with domain registration consistent with the organization's founding date and mission. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacking advanced security headers and incident response information. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy, content-rich, and focused on social good but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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

8 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. 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

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

ACIAH occupies a niche in the digital inclusion and accessibility sector in France, leveraging open-source technology and community-driven support. Their business model is non-profit, focusing on education, training, and personalized accompaniment. They maintain partnerships with related domains that provide training and resources, enhancing their ecosystem. The organization benefits from trust signals such as certification Qualiopi and testimonials. Growth potential lies in expanding training offerings and increasing visibility. The lack of direct email contact may limit immediate engagement but the phone contact and partner sites provide alternative channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which is a gap in security culture and transparency. DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a minor risk. No tracking or analytics scripts reduce privacy risks but also limit monitoring capabilities. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be significantly improved with basic best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and implement a cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information, possibly via a security.txt file.
  5. Consider adding verified company contact emails and a contact form to improve user engagement and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on SPIP CMS with Bootstrap and jQuery, indicating a stable but somewhat dated technology stack. It uses SVG graphics and Google Fonts for modern design aesthetics. Hosting is with OVH, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities include updating JavaScript libraries and enhancing security configurations.
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.
