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

The Communauté de Communes Pays du Mont-Blanc operates a regional government website serving multiple municipalities in the Mont-Blanc area of France. The website provides comprehensive information on local services including transport, environment, culture, economy, tourism, and waste management. It targets residents and visitors seeking community resources and regional updates. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a variety of plugins and integrates Google Maps and FontAwesome for enhanced user experience. The site is hosted by OVH and uses HTTPS, ensuring secure connections. Security posture is moderate with room for improvement, notably the absence of security headers and use of an outdated jQuery version. Privacy compliance is limited due to the lack of a published privacy policy and terms of service, although a cookie consent mechanism is present. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-branded, but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance documentation.

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

5 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: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

  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 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';…

  3. 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

The website positions itself as a key regional government portal providing essential services and information to the Pays du Mont-Blanc community. Its business model is public service oriented, funded and operated by local government entities. The site supports multiple sectors including transportation, environment, tourism, and economic development. Partnerships with local organizations and service providers are evident through linked partner domains. The portal serves a medium-sized regional audience with a focus on accessibility and community engagement. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration of digital tools like EcoMob and Montenbus transport services. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving environmental agencies, transport companies, and cultural organizations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is implemented, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version may expose the site to known vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness. No exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government informational site but requires enhancements to meet higher standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against web attacks.
  3. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS version 4.5.3, utilizing multiple plugins including Yoast SEO, job-manager, newsletter, and cookie-notice. It uses jQuery 1.11.2, FontAwesome 5.0.13, and Google Maps API for enhanced functionality. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Accessibility is basic but functional. Technical debt is present due to outdated libraries and missing security headers. Modernization opportunities include updating the CMS and plugins, improving accessibility features, and enhancing security configurations to reduce risk and improve user experience.
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.
