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

Cap Digital is a prominent European innovation cluster focused on the digital and ecological transition sectors. It supports a broad range of stakeholders including startups, SMEs, large organizations, public entities, and research institutions by providing access to funding, partnerships, training, and events. The organization is well-positioned in the market with strong government and regional backing, reflecting its importance in the innovation ecosystem in France and Europe. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and analytics tools such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Hotjar, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and features rich multimedia content, contributing to a positive user experience and good performance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and a public security policy or incident response page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that slightly reduces trust but does not undermine the overall legitimacy given the professional presentation and government affiliations. Overall, Cap Digital's website demonstrates a strong digital presence with good content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security transparency and WHOIS data availability would further enhance trust and credibility.

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

7 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

Cap Digital operates as a key innovation cluster in Europe, specializing in digital and ecological transitions. Its business model revolves around ecosystem facilitation, connecting innovators with funding, partners, and knowledge resources. The cluster's competitive advantage lies in its extensive network, government support, and comprehensive service offerings tailored to startups, SMEs, large enterprises, and research bodies. Revenue streams likely include membership fees, event sponsorships, and public funding. The target customers are innovation-driven organizations seeking growth and collaboration opportunities. The organization's partnerships with regional governments and European institutions underscore its strategic importance and influence in the sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the lack of visible security headers (e.g., CSP, X-Frame-Options) and absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact reduce the overall security maturity. No signs of vulnerabilities or data leaks were found in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for transparency but does not directly impact technical security. Enhancing security headers and publishing clear security policies would improve the security posture and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve WHOIS transparency by ensuring domain registration details are publicly available or justified if privacy protection is used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for search optimization and integrates analytics tools including Google Analytics, HubSpot, and Hotjar for user behavior tracking and marketing insights. The use of modern JavaScript libraries like Rellax.js for parallax effects enhances user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and features responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and accessibility. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning to reduce technical debt and improve resilience.
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.
