Risk levelHigh

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

Artois Mobilités is a regional public transportation authority in France managing the Tadao bus network and mobility initiatives focused on sustainable and innovative transport solutions. The website reflects an active organization with recent news updates, a clear focus on public service, and community engagement through newsletters and social media. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and secure form handling, though some security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and contact 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

    • 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

  2. Security headers

    • 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

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

The organization holds a strong regional market position as a public transport provider with pioneering projects like France's first 100% hydrogen bus line and plans for a free bus network. Their business model is publicly funded transportation services targeting residents and commuters in the Artois region. The website supports multiple communication channels including social media and newsletters, enhancing community engagement. The lack of detailed founding or parent company data suggests a standalone regional entity. The partnership with Tigre Blanc for communications indicates a professional marketing approach. Overall, the business intelligence points to a stable, regionally focused public service entity with growth in sustainable transport initiatives.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and secure form tokens, indicating good baseline security practices. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no incident response or security policy information is published, which are areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of third-party scripts like Facebook SDK and Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but is common for such sites. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and publishing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Maintain and monitor WHOIS data to ensure domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Owl Carousel, and integration of Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK for analytics and social media. The site uses a responsive design with mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with some room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The presence of nonce tokens in forms indicates secure input handling. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a regional public service website but could benefit from enhanced performance tuning and security header implementation.
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.
