40/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Alterrenat Presse operates as a niche French e-commerce platform specializing in the sale of alternative and organic lifestyle books and magazines. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image, targeting French-speaking consumers interested in organic agriculture, well-being, and alternative education. The business model centers on online retail and subscriptions, with additional services including event participation and advertising. Technically, the site is built on PrestaShop CMS, leveraging common JavaScript libraries and responsive design for good user experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though lacking advanced security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or registration issues, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. Overall, the site is functional, compliant with GDPR, and safe for general audiences.

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

12 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Telnet using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: Redis

      Port 6379 (Redis) is publicly accessible - Redis - In-memory database

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to Redis using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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 · found on this site
  • 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 company positions itself as a leader in the alternative publications niche in France, offering curated content and a specialized product catalog. Its partnerships with event organizers and advertising agencies enhance its market reach. The business targets environmentally conscious consumers and those seeking alternative lifestyle information. Revenue streams include direct sales, subscriptions, and advertising. The presence of clear contact information and social media integration supports customer engagement and trust. The lack of visible certifications or security policies suggests room for maturity in compliance and security governance.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent, aligning with basic security and privacy standards. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are found, limiting transparency in security management. The WHOIS data absence raises questions about domain legitimacy and ownership transparency. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce risk of domain-related fraud.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses PrestaShop CMS with a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and other JavaScript plugins to deliver a responsive and interactive user experience. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets, indicating a moderately complex front-end. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators found. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation. However, no advanced analytics or tracking services were detected, suggesting limited user behavior analysis. The hosting provider is not identified from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small to medium e-commerce site but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
