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

Apitech is a French technology company specializing in open source productivity solutions and custom software development. With over 30 years of experience, it positions itself as a trusted partner for organizations seeking sovereign and secure digital tools. The company leverages open source expertise and partnerships with major technology providers like Microsoft and Dell to deliver tailored solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting business clients in France. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Divi theme and uses modern plugins and analytics tools. However, a critical security issue is the lack of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS, which significantly impacts the security posture. While some security headers are present, the absence of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a major vulnerability. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and trust.

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

  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 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

Apitech operates in the technology sector focusing on open source software and productivity tools. Its business model centers on providing turnkey solutions and custom development services to enterprises and public sector organizations. The company has a strong ecosystem involving industry associations and technology partners, which supports its market positioning as a reliable and innovative player. Testimonials and client references indicate a focus on long-term partnerships and agile development. The company targets French-speaking markets and emphasizes sovereignty and security in hosting and maintenance. Growth indicators include active participation in digital innovation networks and a portfolio of open source projects. The website content and partnerships suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a solid reputation in its niche.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support. Although some security headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options are configured, the missing TLS protocols and cipher suites expose the site to potential interception and downgrade attacks. The HSTS header is present but ineffective without valid SSL. No incident response or security policy information is published, indicating limited transparency in security governance. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy awareness, but the lack of cookie consent mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies highlights compliance gaps. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to improve security and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance privacy transparency.
  4. Publish clear security and incident response policies to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers, certificates, and plugins to maintain a strong security posture.

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS using the Divi theme and several plugins including Contact Form 7, Monarch, and Miguras Divi Enhancer. The server runs nginx with PHP 8.3.20. The site uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-friendly tracking. Performance metrics are not available, but the site includes multiple CSS and JS resources which may impact load times. Mobile optimization appears good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but functional. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but DNS records point to Gandi.net for nameservers and an IP address in France. The lack of SSL and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical debt and risk. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires urgent security upgrades.
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.
