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

AW Solutions is a French platform specializing in the dematerialization of public procurement processes, serving both public buyers and private companies. It operates under the Groupe Achat Solutions, a well-established entity in the public procurement sector since 1989. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including call for tenders dissemination, buyer profiling, sourcing, and business intelligence, positioning itself as a leader in the French government procurement market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, and Matomo analytics, ensuring a professional and functional digital presence. Security measures such as HTTPS, Google reCAPTCHA, and Keycloak SSO are implemented, though there is room for improvement in HTTP security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies present but lacking detailed GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professional, and well-aligned with its business objectives.

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. 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

  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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      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

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 company holds a strong market position in the French public procurement sector, leveraging its parent company Groupe Achat Solutions' legacy. Its business model revolves around providing SaaS solutions for dematerializing public contracts, facilitating interactions between public buyers and private suppliers. The platform's extensive user base of over 15,000 buyers and 280,000 companies indicates significant market penetration. Strategic partnerships and integration with legal experts enhance its service quality. The website reflects a mature digital strategy with SEO optimization and analytics integration, supporting growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA and Keycloak SSO for authentication. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No visible incident response or security policy pages were found, which could impact transparency and readiness. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with basic privacy requirements but lacks detailed GDPR compliance statements. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from enhancements in header policies, vulnerability management, and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible to users and partners.
  3. Enhance GDPR compliance by providing detailed privacy policy disclosures and data retention information.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet recognized standards for inclusive web design.
  5. Increase visibility of official contact information for security and general inquiries to build trust.

  3. Good use of modern web technologies and analytics.
  4. Cookie consent and privacy policies are present but could be more comprehensive.

  8. No WAF or blocking mechanisms detected.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust WordPress CMS platform using the Avada theme and several popular plugins such as WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, Yoast SEO for search optimization, and Slider Revolution for dynamic content. Analytics are handled via Matomo, providing privacy-focused tracking. The site uses Keycloak for single sign-on, indicating integration with enterprise identity management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. However, the lack of explicit security headers and limited accessibility features suggest areas for modernization and technical debt reduction. Hosting is managed via NETSAMPLE, consistent with the domain registration data.
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.
