Partial score · DNS & email only

57/100

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

The website base-tessa.net represents a small non-profit project launched in 2021 by the association Autour du 1er mai, focused on cataloging and promoting films related to the social and solidarity economy (ESS) and ecological transition. The platform serves a niche audience interested in social innovation and sustainability through cinema. Technically, the site is built on the SPIP CMS, hosted by OVH sas, and uses Matomo for analytics. The site is accessible, with a good content structure and moderate performance, but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and no DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the credibility of the project.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 project operates in the non-profit sector, targeting audiences interested in social economy and ecological transition. Its business model is informational and cultural, providing a curated database of films to raise awareness and share best practices. The association behind it, Autour du 1er mai, is the main entity, with no subsidiaries or partners explicitly linked. The website's market position is niche but important for its community. Growth potential lies in expanding film catalog and partnerships. The lack of direct contact information and formal policies may limit trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and published security or privacy policies. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The use of Matomo analytics without cookie consent raises privacy concerns under GDPR. The absence of security headers increases risk exposure to common web attacks. Overall, security maturity is low to moderate, with room for significant improvements to meet compliance and best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Configure essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Provide clear contact information including email and phone for user support and incident reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional HTML/CSS stack with SPIP CMS and Matomo analytics. Hosting is provided by OVH sas, a reputable provider. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and accessibility but lacks advanced SEO features. Performance is moderate with no evident broken elements. The absence of modern JavaScript frameworks or CDN usage indicates a simple infrastructure. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security configurations.
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.
