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

Avenue-Web Systèmes (AWS) is a French company specializing in the dematerialization of public procurement processes, operating since 2002 as a subsidiary of the Ach@t Solutions group. The company offers a comprehensive suite of digital services including buyer profiles, teletransmission of official documents, sourcing, and business intelligence solutions tailored for public sector buyers and private companies. AWS holds a leading national position in France with a strong client base and positive customer reviews. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and demonstrates good SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent implemented, though additional security headers and policies could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy, but the website content and business information appear professional and credible. Overall, AWS presents a solid business offering with room for improvement in transparency and security practices.

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 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 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

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

AWS operates in the government and technology sectors, focusing on public procurement digitalization. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offering and affiliation with the Ach@t Solutions group. The business model revolves around software and service provision to public buyers and suppliers, with revenue likely generated from subscriptions and service fees. The company targets public sector entities and private companies seeking access to public contracts. Growth indicators include a large client base and integration of advanced sourcing and intelligence features. The partnership ecosystem includes media groups and specialized platforms, enhancing market reach. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining domain legitimacy and enhancing privacy and security transparency to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) were detected, and no public security or incident response policies are available. The absence of WHOIS data and privacy policy reduces transparency and may pose trust issues. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the content. Compliance with GDPR is implied by cookie consent but lacks explicit documentation. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, with recommendations to improve header implementation, policy publication, and domain registration transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish security and incident response policies and provide dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  5. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Avada child theme and Fusion Builder, with Yoast SEO for optimization and Cookie Notice for consent management. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and lazy loading for images. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by updating security headers and enhancing accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional web presence with opportunities for modernization and security enhancements.
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.
