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

AFM Productions is a specialized audiovisual production company founded in 1997 by the AFM-Téléthon association, focusing on creating documentaries and educational content about rare genetic diseases and medical research. The company targets a general audience interested in health, science, and social issues, leveraging storytelling to raise awareness and inform the public. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand identity aligned with its mission. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 with Bootstrap and uses modern libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components. It integrates Google Analytics and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism via CookieYes, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent but lacks explicit security headers and dedicated security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification, but the website content and contact information suggest a trustworthy entity. Overall, the site presents a low-risk profile with good compliance and technical standards, though improvements in security headers and transparency policies are recommended.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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

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

AFM Productions operates in a niche media segment focused on rare diseases and medical research, supported by the AFM-Téléthon association. Its business model is non-profit, emphasizing educational and awareness content rather than commercial gain. The company benefits from a strong association with a recognized non-profit, enhancing credibility and trust. The website serves as a platform to showcase documentaries, ongoing productions, and directors, targeting both the general public and stakeholders in the medical research community. The presence of detailed contact information and embedded maps supports transparency and accessibility. The company appears small in size but well-positioned within its specialized market, with potential growth linked to the rare disease research ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security.txt or incident response information is published, which could hinder vulnerability reporting and incident management. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and CookieYes is standard but requires ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the site's purpose but could be improved with additional security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and communication.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and consider publishing detailed data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and Swiper.js for interactive sliders. It integrates Google Fonts and Google Analytics for typography and analytics respectively. Cookie consent is managed by CookieYes, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site loads CSS and JS assets efficiently and uses lazy loading for images to optimize performance. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, contributing to a good user experience. No major technical debt or outdated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in caching and security headers.
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.
