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

The Assistance publique - Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP) website is a comprehensive public healthcare portal serving as the digital front for one of Europe's largest university hospital systems. It offers extensive information and services including patient care, clinical research, training, and innovation. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and provides multiple user-friendly features such as search forms and clinical trial participation tools. Technically, it is built on Drupal CMS with modern libraries and privacy-respecting analytics (Matomo). Security posture is strong with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly impacts trust but the official branding and content strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves a critical public health function.

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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 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

AP-HP holds a dominant position in the French healthcare sector as a public university hospital network with 38 hospitals and millions of patients annually. Its business model is public service-oriented, focusing on healthcare delivery, medical education, and research innovation. The website supports multiple stakeholders including patients, healthcare professionals, researchers, and partners. The presence of dedicated portals for recruitment, donations, and innovation hubs indicates a mature ecosystem with diverse revenue and partnership streams. The site’s content and structure reflect a strong commitment to transparency, patient rights, and data protection, aligning with regulatory requirements and public expectations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent via Tarteaucitron, and use of privacy-focused analytics. No direct security contact or vulnerability disclosure is found, which is a gap for incident response readiness. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to privacy or registry policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Security headers are assumed present but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML. Recommendations include publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact details.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers explicitly, including Content-Security-Policy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Drupal CMS with modern front-end libraries including jQuery UI and Leaflet for maps. It integrates Tarteaucitron for cookie consent and Matomo for analytics, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, likely due to rich content and multiple scripts. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting a large-scale public healthcare portal. Opportunities exist to improve explicit security header declarations and to publish more detailed technical and security documentation.
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.
