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

Canopée is a French non-profit organization dedicated to protecting forests through expert investigations, advocacy, and citizen mobilization. The website positions itself as a credible and active player in environmental protection with a clear mission and multiple ongoing campaigns. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern analytics and consent management tools, showing good digital maturity and compliance with privacy regulations. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent, though some security headers could be improved. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for this type of organization. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professional, and well-maintained.

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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn

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

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 organization targets citizens, journalists, political decision makers, and companies to raise awareness and influence forest protection policies. Its business model relies on advocacy, public campaigns, and donations. The site demonstrates strong market positioning as a reference in forest protection in France, supported by media presence and testimonials. Partnerships and donation processing are handled via related domains. The content quality and branding consistency reinforce credibility and trust.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms with Tarteaucitron.js. Analytics tools include Matomo and Microsoft Clarity, respecting user privacy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. However, security headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not explicitly observed and could be added to enhance security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, suggesting an area for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Enhance contact information by providing direct company emails or phone numbers for support and security contacts.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving legal requirements and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a custom theme and uses modern JavaScript libraries for analytics and consent management. It loads multiple external scripts asynchronously to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization by reducing external script dependencies.
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.
