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

The Fédération des Aveugles et Amblyopes de France is a French non-profit organization advocating for the full citizenship and rights of blind and visually impaired individuals. The website serves as an informational and advocacy platform, targeting persons with blindness and low vision in France. It provides key services related to support and rights advocacy. The organization has an established presence since 2014, with a medium-sized operational scale. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, utilizing the Yoast SEO plugin for search optimization and integrates analytics tools such as Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager. The hosting is provided by Gandi SAS, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit security or incident response policies on the website. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosure or data protection officer information is provided. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security hardening, and transparency regarding data protection and incident response to improve its security posture and user 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

5 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 federation occupies a niche non-profit sector focused on disability advocacy in France. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on blindness and visual impairment, serving a defined community with advocacy and support services. The business model is non-profit, likely funded by donations, grants, and memberships. The website does not reveal revenue streams but emphasizes advocacy and citizenship rights. The target customer segment is persons with blindness and low vision, their families, and stakeholders in disability rights. The organization appears to have a stable partnership ecosystem, though no explicit partners are listed on the site. Growth indicators are not evident from the website content.

Security posture

The current security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are active, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and explicit security policies indicates gaps in defense-in-depth. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are visible, which could delay response to security incidents. Data protection practices are not transparent, and privacy compliance is minimal. The use of third-party analytics and tracking without visible consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR. Overall, the security culture appears functional but could be significantly improved with formal policies and technical enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy, including contact channels like security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of plugins and scripts to identify and remediate vulnerabilities, and improve accessibility features to better serve the target audience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform with Yoast SEO for optimization and integrates analytics tools including Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is managed by Gandi SAS, a reputable provider. The site shows good mobile responsiveness and moderate performance. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and security hardening. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security best practices. The site uses multiple JavaScript analytics scripts which may impact performance and privacy compliance. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization efforts focused on security and privacy.
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.
