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

Biocoop is a leading French retail network specializing in organic, local, seasonal, and fair trade products. The company operates both physical stores and an e-commerce platform, targeting consumers interested in sustainable and ethical consumption. The website is professionally designed, leveraging Magento as its e-commerce platform, and integrates modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Piano Analytics and New Relic for performance monitoring. Privacy compliance is addressed through the use of OneTrust cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy in French. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though additional security headers could enhance protection. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust analysis, but the overall digital presence suggests a legitimate and established business.

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

4 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

  • 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

Biocoop holds a strong market position as the number one specialized organic retail network in France. Its business model combines brick-and-mortar stores with online sales, focusing on organic and fair trade products. The company targets environmentally conscious consumers and leverages partnerships with local producers. The website's content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting trust and customer engagement. While no explicit contact information or certifications were found in the provided data, the presence of privacy and cookie policies indicates regulatory awareness. The technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security headers and more visible contact channels to improve customer trust and support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented via OneTrust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which are important for transparency and rapid response to security incidents. The absence of WHOIS data restricts domain trust evaluation but does not indicate malicious intent. Overall, the site appears secure for typical retail operations but should consider enhancing security best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and customer trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features and ensure all forms have robust input validation and CSRF protection.
  5. Make contact information more visible and accessible to support customer inquiries and compliance requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Magento, a widely used e-commerce platform, and uses jQuery and RequireJS for frontend functionality. It integrates third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, OneTrust for cookie consent, Piano Analytics, and New Relic for monitoring. The site loads multiple JavaScript modules asynchronously, indicating a modular and modern approach. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features appear basic. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and structured data. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
