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

The Atelier National de Recherche Typographique (ANRT) is a specialized academic institution based in Nancy, France, focused on advanced typographic research and education. It operates as a 3rd cycle program under the École nationale supérieure d’art et de design de Nancy, offering a two-year research diploma and doctoral partnerships. The website reflects a niche educational entity with a clear focus on typography and design research, targeting students and researchers worldwide. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Flickity for UI elements, hosted by PLANETHOSTER, and shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for compliance improvement. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could enhance privacy and security transparency.

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. 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

  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
  • 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

ANRT holds a niche position in the education sector, specializing in typographic research and design. Its competitive advantage lies in its affiliation with ENSAD Nancy and partnerships with research labs, supported by French cultural and regional authorities. The business model is educational, with revenue likely from tuition and public funding. The target audience includes graduate students and researchers in typography and design. The institution maintains a strong academic reputation with a small cohort size, emphasizing quality and research depth. The partnership ecosystem includes notable typographers and designers, enhancing its prestige and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is used, but no explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) were detected in the provided data. No forms or input fields were found to assess input validation or secure data handling. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency in vulnerability reporting. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from enhanced security headers, formal privacy documentation, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to enhance security transparency.
  4. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user engagement while maintaining compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with jQuery 3.6.0, Plyr for media, and Flickity for carousel functionality. The hosting provider is PLANETHOSTER, a reputable French hosting company. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts improving page load. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and semantic markup.
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.
