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

ALSO France S.A.S. operates as a major B2B technology distributor and service provider in the IT and Telecom sectors, serving a large reseller network across Europe and globally. The company offers a broad portfolio of hardware, software, and cloud services, supported by a robust e-commerce platform and a cloud marketplace. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content tailored for business partners and resellers. Technically, the site employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Usercentrics for consent management, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers could be improved and explicit incident response information is lacking. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the website's professionalism and business signals support legitimacy.

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

4 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.

    • 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: Google Analytics, Twitter, LinkedIn, 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

ALSO France is positioned as a large, essential entity in the European IT distribution market, leveraging partnerships with over 700 suppliers and serving approximately 120,000 resellers. Its business model combines product supply, custom IT solutions, and cloud-based subscription services, targeting B2B customers. The company benefits from a strong parent organization (ALSO Holding AG) and maintains a consistent brand and content strategy. Marketing and advertising efforts are transparent and compliant, utilizing major ad networks and tracking tools with user consent. The company’s ecosystem and digital platforms indicate a strategic focus on growth and innovation in IT services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and integration of a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for improvement. The WHOIS data unavailability is a minor concern but does not indicate malicious activity. Overall, the site is secure for business use but could enhance transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider obtaining and publishing verified WHOIS data or domain registration details to strengthen domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS platform (cms5) with a technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Modernizr, and Font Awesome, supporting responsive design and moderate performance. Analytics and marketing tools such as Webtrekk, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Usercentrics CMP are integrated for tracking and consent management. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize loading times and accessibility. The absence of a known hosting provider or CDN details limits full infrastructure assessment.
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.
