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

Andra is the French national agency responsible for the long-term management and safe disposal of radioactive waste produced in France. It operates as a public establishment with a strong governmental affiliation, managing multiple regional centers and providing comprehensive information, research, and storage solutions for radioactive materials. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a professional design, clear navigation, and extensive content targeting a broad audience including the general public, professionals, suppliers, and international partners. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, uses modern analytics tools like Matomo, and implements standard security measures such as HTTPS and reCAPTCHA. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust analysis, though the official branding and content strongly support legitimacy. Security posture is good but could be improved by adding explicit security policies and security headers. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained.

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

7 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

  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 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
  • 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

Andra holds a critical position in the French energy and environmental sector as the authoritative body managing radioactive waste. Its business model is that of a government agency focused on public safety, environmental protection, and scientific research. The agency maintains a network of regional sites and international collaborations, enhancing its operational reach and expertise. The website supports multiple stakeholder groups with dedicated sections for suppliers, journalists, and waste producers. The presence of detailed publications, news updates, and multimedia content indicates a commitment to transparency and public engagement. The agency's digital ecosystem includes partner domains reflecting its regional and international footprint. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract from the agency's established market position and credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, indicating a baseline security posture. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies aligns with GDPR requirements. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible security policy or incident response information. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident handling readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified. The overall security score is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies to strengthen trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy disclosures to align with best practices and increase user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and widely supported CMS, indicating a robust and maintainable infrastructure. It uses jQuery and integrates Matomo for analytics, along with Google Tag Manager for marketing and tracking. The site includes accessibility features and is mobile responsive, providing a good user experience across devices. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the use of multiple external scripts and analytics tools. The site uses standard web fonts and CSS animations for enhanced visual appeal. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but performance optimization could be considered to improve loading times further.
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.
