Security score

43/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Carrefour Culturel Arnaud Bernard is a small non-profit cultural association based in Toulouse, France, focused on promoting cultural and linguistic diversity through events such as the Forom des Langues du Monde, Repas de Quartier, and Conversations Socratiques. The website serves as a hub for community engagement, event information, and cultural publications. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses modern web technologies, providing a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. The domain WHOIS data is missing or inaccessible, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional appearance of the site. Overall, the website is functional and trustworthy for its cultural mission but should improve compliance 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MSSQL

      Port 1433 (MSSQL) is publicly accessible - MSSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MSSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

      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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The association operates in the non-profit cultural sector, targeting local and international audiences interested in cultural and linguistic heritage. Its business model revolves around organizing cultural events, publishing related works, and fostering public debates. The website reflects a consistent brand and provides trust signals through event branding and social media presence. However, the lack of detailed business registration information and missing WHOIS data may affect external trust. The organization appears community-focused with limited commercial activity, relying on cultural engagement and educational outreach.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web attacks. No incident response or security policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks but also limiting user behavior insights. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with better headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate security risks.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to build trust and readiness.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to ensure domain registration legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the OceanWP theme and Elementor page builder, supplemented by Piotnet Addons and Swiper.js for interactive elements. The site loads jQuery and other standard libraries, with CSS and JS assets properly linked. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and responsive design features implemented. Accessibility is basic but present, with skip links and alt attributes on images. SEO is basic with meta tags and canonical links but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and adequate for a small cultural association but could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
