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

Bénévalibre is a French non-profit initiative providing free open-source software to assist very small associations in managing and valorizing volunteer work. The project is supported by CRAJEP Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and several financial and expert partners. The website serves as an informational portal and access point to the web application. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with standard plugins and modern web technologies, offering a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of cookie consent and detailed GDPR policies. Overall, the domain registration and website content align well, indicating a legitimate and focused non-profit project.

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

8 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

The project occupies a niche in the non-profit sector, targeting very small associations needing simple volunteer management tools. Its open-source nature and backing by regional associations and financial partners provide competitive advantages in trust and community engagement. The business model is non-commercial, relying on collective development and support. The website ecosystem includes a forum and partner sites, enhancing community interaction. Growth potential depends on adoption by associations and ongoing support from partners. The lack of extensive marketing or analytics tools suggests a focus on service over commercial expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and domain transfer is restricted, reducing risk of hijacking. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options leaves some attack vectors open. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response policies are published, which could hinder timely security issue management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy including GDPR compliance details and cookie usage.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with EU regulations.
  5. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and incident response.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.4.5 with jQuery and Contact Form 7 plugin, indicating a standard CMS-based infrastructure. The site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 with responsive design elements, ensuring good mobile usability. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected in the HTML content. The domain is registered with Gandi SAS and has a valid SSL certificate. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. No advanced analytics or marketing tools are detected, reflecting a minimalistic technical footprint focused on content delivery.
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.
