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

La Captothèque is a regional public service platform operated by Atmo-Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, focused on enabling citizens to measure and understand air quality in their territories. The website offers sensor loans and data visualization tools to engage the community in environmental monitoring. The platform is supported and financed by the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regional government, positioning it as a niche but trusted service in the energy/environment sector. Technically, the site uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Flickity, hosted by OVH, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization.

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. 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

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. 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

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 business operates in the environmental monitoring sector, leveraging partnerships with regional government and environmental agencies. Its competitive advantage lies in community engagement through sensor loans and open data sharing. The business model is public service oriented, likely funded by government grants and regional support. Target customers are environmentally conscious citizens and local communities. Growth indicators include active blog content and social media presence. The partnership ecosystem includes Atmo-Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the regional government, enhancing credibility and reach. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to improve compliance documentation and security posture to strengthen trust further.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and a cookie consent mechanism is in place, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the security score. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy documentation are missing, which could impact readiness for security events. Compliance gaps include the lack of a privacy policy and terms of service pages. Overall, the security culture appears nascent but with room for improvement to meet higher standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add terms of service and security policy pages to clarify user rights and organizational security commitments.
  4. Establish an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) to improve security incident handling.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Flickity carousel, and FontAwesome icons, ensuring responsive design and good user experience. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate, with external dependencies on CDNs for libraries and fonts. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is minimal with basic meta tags and Open Graph data but no structured JSON-LD detected. The site lacks a known CMS, suggesting a custom or bespoke platform. Technical risks include reliance on third-party scripts and absence of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to improve SEO, accessibility, and security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance operational 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.
