Risk levelLow

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

The Collectivité européenne d'Alsace (CeA) is a regional governmental entity serving the Alsace region in France. The website provides comprehensive information about public services, social aid, cultural events, transport, environment, and education, targeting residents and stakeholders of Alsace. The site is well-branded, consistent, and professionally maintained, reflecting its official government status. Technically, the website uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with privacy-conscious analytics via Matomo and a cookie consent mechanism powered by OreJime. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and structured data for enhanced search engine understanding. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses script integrity checks but lacks some recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and clear cookie consent. Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with high trustworthiness and professionalism. The lack of WHOIS data is due to EURid privacy policies and is typical for .eu domains. Strategic improvements include adding security headers and publishing a security policy or vulnerability disclosure to enhance transparency and security 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

5 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

CeA operates as a government authority providing a broad range of public services including social support, cultural promotion, transport infrastructure, environmental initiatives, and educational programs. Its market position is that of a regional government entity with a large operational size. The business model is public service funded by government budgets. The website supports citizen engagement through news, events, and consultation platforms. The organization maintains active social media channels to enhance outreach and transparency. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital engagement. Partnerships appear with regional and cross-border entities, as evidenced by linked domains and event themes.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, secure script loading, and privacy-respecting analytics. However, it lacks some HTTP security headers that could mitigate risks such as clickjacking and MIME sniffing. No incident response or security contact information is published, which is a gap for transparency and rapid vulnerability handling. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR compliant. No signs of malware, phishing, or data leaks were found. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy details to explicitly state analytics data handling and retention periods.

  3. Strong presence of official government branding and contact information.
  4. Cookie consent and privacy policy are implemented and GDPR compliant.
  5. No visible security headers detected; opportunity for improvement.
  6. Use of Matomo analytics indicates privacy-conscious tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, including FontAwesome for icons and OreJime for cookie consent management. Analytics are handled by Matomo, a privacy-focused tool. The site is well-structured with JSON-LD structured data for SEO and social media integration. Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images to optimize load times. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site could benefit from additional security headers and performance tuning for faster load times.
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.
