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

Business profile

Axecibles holds a strong market position as a digital agency with a long operational history and a broad client base in France and Belgium. Its business model revolves around providing tailored digital solutions including website creation (both vitrine and e-commerce), SEO, and digital marketing, supported by dedicated project managers and R&D efforts. The company leverages partnerships and showcases client websites to reinforce trust and market presence. Revenue streams likely include service fees for web development, SEO, and ongoing digital marketing support. The target customers are SMEs, liberal professions, and small businesses seeking to enhance their digital footprint. The company maintains active social media channels and a newsletter to engage its audience. Despite the missing WHOIS data, the business appears credible and professionally managed with consistent branding and high-quality content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via tarteaucitron, ensuring GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or security policy information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook pixels is managed with user consent, aligning with privacy best practices. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be enhanced by adding explicit security headers and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to resolve inconsistencies and improve legitimacy.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and tracking for better privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and well-structured technical stack including jQuery, Swiper.js for sliders, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and tarteaucitron for cookie consent management. The site employs preloading of CSS and JS resources to optimize performance and uses a service worker for offline capabilities, indicating a progressive web app approach. The HTML is well-formed with appropriate meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). Mobile optimization and accessibility features are good, with responsive design and ARIA roles. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed 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.
