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

Saint-Louis Agglomération is a regional governmental entity serving the Alsace region in France, focusing on intercommunal cooperation and public service delivery. The website provides comprehensive information on local governance, community services, environmental initiatives, and economic development. It targets residents, businesses, and public stakeholders within the territory. The digital presence is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including SEO and social media integration, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though improvements in security headers and explicit policies are recommended. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification but the overall site content and structure indicate legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security policies, updating technical components, and improving transparency around incident response.

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. 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 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';…

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 entity operates as a public government organization with a focus on territorial management, environmental protection, and community services. Its market position is that of a regional authority with a medium-sized operational scope. The business model is non-commercial, funded by public budgets, and aimed at service provision rather than profit. Key services include urban planning, waste management, mobility, cultural activities, and economic support. The website supports multilingual access, indicating a diverse audience including cross-border stakeholders. Partnerships with local agencies and service providers are evident. Growth indicators include active public consultations and open data initiatives, reflecting transparency and community engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent management. Use of reputable plugins and tracking tools is observed, but there is a lack of explicit security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces preparedness transparency. No security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program is present. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy communication and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance monitoring and auditing of third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy and security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 4.7.19, which is an older version and may pose security risks if not updated. It uses a combination of jQuery 1.12.4, Bootstrap, and various plugins such as Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, Imagemapper, and Flow-Flow Social Streams. The site loads external resources from Google Fonts and WordPress.org domains. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses tarteaucitron.js for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The technical stack is functional but would benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
