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

Alterrenat Presse operates as a specialized French e-commerce platform focused on alternative press, books, and magazines related to organic living, well-being, and ecological topics. The website is built on PrestaShop and offers a curated selection of products targeting a niche audience interested in sustainable and alternative lifestyles. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear contact information and social media engagement primarily via Facebook. Technically, the site uses a mix of legacy and modern JavaScript libraries and is mobile optimized with a moderate performance profile. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and basic security best practices, though improvements in security headers and updated libraries are recommended. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, but the active and professional website presence partially mitigates this risk. Overall, the site is a credible small business e-commerce platform with room for technical and security enhancements.

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. 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';…

  2. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 business targets a niche market of French-speaking consumers interested in alternative and ecological publications. Its business model revolves around online retail sales and subscriptions of specialized books and magazines. The company leverages partnerships with event organizers and advertising to enhance its market reach. The website's content and navigation are well-structured, supporting user engagement and sales conversion. The lack of detailed company registration data and certifications suggests a small-scale operation. The presence of a cookie consent banner and GDPR compliance indicators reflect awareness of regulatory requirements. Strategic partnerships with event guides and digital marketing agencies support its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and tokens are used in forms to prevent CSRF attacks. However, the site lacks advanced security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate clickjacking and content injection risks. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file is present. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce advanced HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Upgrade JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the PrestaShop CMS platform, utilizing a variety of JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Fancybox for UI components and interactivity. The site is mobile responsive and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. Performance is moderate, with some legacy scripts that could be optimized or updated. SEO basics are covered with meta tags and structured navigation, though no JSON-LD or Open Graph metadata was detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site architecture supports e-commerce functionalities including product carousels, quick views, and cart management. Technical debt is present in the form of outdated libraries and missing security headers, which should be addressed to improve security and performance.
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.
