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

The Association Francophone des Soins Oncologiques de Support (AFSOS) is a French non-profit organization dedicated to promoting knowledge and implementation of supportive oncology care. The website serves both healthcare professionals and the general public, providing educational resources, guidelines, congress information, and patient support tools. It holds partnerships with reputable French health institutions, enhancing its credibility and market position within the healthcare sector in France. The organization appears to be small-sized and founded around 2019, focusing on oncology supportive care education and advocacy. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and integrations such as Google Maps, Stripe for payments, and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile-optimized, uses HTTPS, and includes SEO and accessibility features, though accessibility could be improved. Performance is moderate, and the design is professional and consistent with the brand. Security posture is good with HTTPS, secure payment integration, and anti-bot measures, but lacks some security headers and explicit privacy and terms of service pages. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy, with moderate user tracking via analytics and social pixels. Recommendations include publishing a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, adding security headers, improving accessibility, and providing incident response contacts to enhance compliance and trust.

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

10 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

AFSOS occupies a niche in the healthcare non-profit sector, focusing on oncology supportive care in the French-speaking community. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized knowledge dissemination, partnerships with major health organizations, and provision of training and congress events. The business model is based on membership, education, and resource provision rather than commercial sales. The target customers include healthcare professionals, patients, and caregivers. Growth indicators include active event promotion and digital resource expansion. The partnership ecosystem includes the French Ministry of Health and cancer research institutions, reinforcing its authoritative position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS encryption, integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms, and secure payment processing via Stripe. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. GDPR compliance is implied but not explicitly documented. Overall, the site is secure but could improve in formalizing security governance and enhancing header protections.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed privacy policy page outlining GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Consider creating a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.2 with a child theme, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3.7, and various plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Easy Fancybox. It integrates Google Maps API for location services and Stripe for payment processing. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 for bot protection. Performance is moderate with lazy loading images and CDN usage for some assets. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is modern but uses an older Bootstrap version, which may warrant future upgrades.
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.
