Archéodyssée is a regional cultural and educational platform dedicated to archaeology in the Hérault Méditerranée area of France. It serves a diverse audience including the general public, schools, and scientific communities by providing digital applications, archaeological films, educational mediation, and resources. The website is positioned as a trusted regional resource supported by local government entities, as evidenced by official contact details and logos. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and WP Rocket, ensuring good SEO and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and follows basic best practices but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies.

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. 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 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

    • 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

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

Archéodyssée operates as a small-sized government or non-profit entity focused on cultural heritage and education. Its business model revolves around providing educational content and digital tools to promote archaeological knowledge. The platform leverages partnerships with regional authorities and cultural organizations, as indicated by logos and contact domains. The website's content strategy includes news updates, digital applications, films, and blog articles, targeting both laypersons and specialists. The lack of commercial or e-commerce features suggests a non-commercial funding model, likely supported by public funds or grants. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a clear mission, positioning it as a key regional player in archaeological education and mediation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate certain attack vectors. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism is a GDPR compliance gap. The WHOIS data absence raises questions about domain registration transparency but does not directly indicate compromise. Overall, the site is secure for general use but would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and inform users about data collection.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to ensure domain registration transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

  7. No suspicious or malicious content detected.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO for search engine optimization, and WP Rocket for performance optimization. It uses Google Fonts and Slick Slider for UI enhancements. The site is mobile responsive and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags and JSON-LD structured data for enhanced search visibility. Performance is moderate with some optimization via WP Rocket lazy loading. Accessibility is basic but functional. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site does not expose any sensitive technical information and uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. There is room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
