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

9 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

  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"

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

Business profile

Alfie Formation positions itself as a specialized provider in the digital marketing education sector within France, leveraging a network of experts to deliver customized training. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized training programs and financing facilitation, appealing to corporate clients and professionals. The company operates a direct-to-business model with a focus on quality assurance through certifications like QUALIOPI. The website's comprehensive course catalog and clear navigation support customer acquisition and retention. The integration of marketing and analytics tools indicates a data-driven approach to growth and customer engagement. The absence of explicit privacy and security policies suggests an area for strategic improvement to meet evolving compliance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption, use of hCaptcha to mitigate automated abuse, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate potential gaps in defense-in-depth and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from formalizing security policies and incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and display a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance cookie consent details to include data retention and user rights information for GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with Yoast SEO Premium plugin, leveraging Google Tag Manager and HubSpot for analytics and marketing automation. Fonts are preloaded for performance optimization, and the site uses hCaptcha for form security. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as ARIA labels and keyboard navigation support. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. Structured data in JSON-LD format enhances SEO and rich snippet eligibility. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize privacy and security documentation.
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.
