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

Capitole du Libre is a well-established non-profit event organizer focused on free software advocacy and community engagement in Toulouse, France. The website promotes the 2025 edition of their annual event featuring conferences, workshops, and community activities. The organization targets both experts and the general public interested in open source software. Their business model relies on free registration, sponsorships, and merchandise sales. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted by Infomaniak, and optimized for mobile devices. However, it lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. No WAF or blocking mechanisms are detected, and the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve privacy compliance and security hardening.

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 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

    • 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

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

Business profile

The Capitole du Libre event holds a strong position in the French free software community with a history dating back to 2011. Its partnerships with reputable technology companies and local institutions enhance its credibility and funding. The event's free registration model supported by sponsors and merchandise sales indicates a community-driven approach rather than commercial profit. The target audience spans from novices to experts in free software, reflecting a broad community engagement strategy. The website's integration with social media and GitHub for contributions shows openness and transparency. Growth indicators include consistent annual editions and increasing participant numbers. The partnership ecosystem is diverse, including technology firms, local government bodies, and community organizations, which strengthens operational resilience and outreach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. It uses HTTPS and has domain transfer lock status, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. There is no published privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which may expose the organization to GDPR compliance risks. No vulnerability disclosure or security contact information is provided, limiting incident response readiness. The site does not appear to use tracking or advertising scripts, reducing privacy risks. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency are recommended to enhance security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and display a consent mechanism.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file with clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Next.js and React, leveraging server-side rendering and static export features for performance. Google Fonts and FontAwesome are used for typography and icons. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable European hosting provider. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses modern CSS and JavaScript bundling. However, no CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built solution. Performance is moderate, with preloading of CSS and deferred script loading. SEO is basic with meta tags but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA attributes and better semantic markup. No analytics or tracking scripts are detected, indicating a privacy-conscious approach but limiting user behavior insights.
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.
