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

The Communauté d'Agglomération de Cambrai is a local government entity serving the Cambrai region in France. The website provides comprehensive information about its public services including economic development, transport, environmental management, cultural activities, and administrative resources. It targets residents and stakeholders within the agglomeration area, offering accessible and structured content to support community engagement and service delivery. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern web technologies such as Bootstrap and jQuery, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site includes cookie consent mechanisms and complies with GDPR requirements, reflecting a mature approach to privacy and data protection. However, some accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent but lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data reduces the trust score slightly, but the presence of official partner logos and consistent branding supports legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-suited for its public sector role. Strategic improvements in security transparency, accessibility, and WHOIS data availability would further strengthen its posture.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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 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';…

  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 website represents a regional government authority focused on delivering essential public services. Its market position is that of a local government body with a stable funding model based on public budgets. Key competitive advantages include comprehensive service coverage, strong regional partnerships, and a clear communication channel with residents. The business model is non-commercial, emphasizing service provision and community development. Growth indicators include active cultural programming and infrastructure projects. The partnership ecosystem includes regional and departmental government entities, enhancing resource sharing and legitimacy.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. The site benefits from HTTPS encryption and cookie consent compliance, indicating awareness of privacy and security standards. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found, but the absence of security headers and formal policies could pose risks. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but further alignment with standards like ISO 27001 or NIST frameworks is recommended to enhance security culture and incident preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards for broader inclusivity.
  5. Ensure WHOIS data is complete and publicly available to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for government websites. The use of Bootstrap and jQuery ensures responsive design and interactive features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. The site includes modern SEO practices and mobile optimization but has basic accessibility compliance. The technical debt appears low, though updating third-party libraries and enhancing security headers would reduce risk. Hosting details are not explicit, but the site uses external analytics and cookie management tools effectively.
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.
