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. 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 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 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 market position as a key player in France's electric mobility landscape, leveraging partnerships with sites like Advenir and Je Roule En Electrique to extend its influence. Its business model centers on membership benefits, information dissemination, and advocacy. The site demonstrates consistent branding and high-quality content, targeting industry professionals and institutional stakeholders. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a controlled communication approach, primarily via contact forms and social media. The association's longevity and active content updates indicate stable operations and growth orientation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent framework, indicating awareness of privacy and security requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics is managed with user consent. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide direct security contact information (e.g., security@avere-france.org) to enable timely communication of incidents.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform enhanced with Bootstrap for responsive design and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses jQuery and MediaElement.js for interactive and multimedia content. The presence of Ninja Forms indicates structured data collection via forms, with proper consent mechanisms in place. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site leverages Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing insights, balanced with user privacy controls. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, indicating a secure hosting environment.
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.
