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

The website champs-sur-yonne.fr serves as the official digital portal for the municipal government of Champs-sur-Yonne, France. It provides residents and visitors with essential information including local news, administrative procedures, municipal services, and contact details. The site is positioned as a trusted local government resource, focusing on transparency and community engagement. The business model is public service oriented, with no commercial activities evident. The website is well-branded and consistent with the identity of a small municipal entity founded in 2014. Technically, the site employs a modern technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and several carousel libraries for UI enhancement. It uses hCaptcha for form protection and a cookie consent management tool (tarteaucitron.js) to comply with privacy regulations. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable French hosting provider. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to mitigate spam on contact forms. However, it lacks visible HTTP security headers such as CSP or HSTS, and does not publish explicit security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is supported by a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with a solid foundation for public sector communication. Strategic improvements include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and expanding accessibility compliance. These steps would strengthen the site's security posture and trustworthiness further.

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.

Priority findings

8 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

  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

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

Champs-sur-Yonne's official website targets local residents and visitors, providing municipal information and services. The site leverages partnerships with regional government entities (yonne.gouv.fr, yonne.fr, agglo-auxerrois.fr) to enrich content and resources. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public service delivery. The site’s longevity since 2014 indicates stable operations. The use of modern web technologies and analytics tools like Matomo suggests an intent to monitor and improve user engagement. The absence of commercial advertising or affiliate programs aligns with its government role. The website’s ecosystem is primarily local and governmental, with no evident commercial partnerships or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and hCaptcha integration on forms reduces spam and automated abuse. Cookie consent is managed with a recognized tool, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of HTTP security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) is a notable gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No dedicated security policy or incident response contact is published, limiting transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the provided content. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards (e.g., WCAG 2.1).
  5. Clarify data retention policies and improve privacy disclosures to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of popular front-end libraries such as Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and multiple carousel plugins (Owl Carousel, Slick, Splide) for interactive content display. It integrates Chart.js for data visualization and hCaptcha for bot protection on forms. The cookie consent is managed by tarteaucitron.js, a GDPR-focused tool. Hosting is via OVH, a well-known French provider. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site is mobile-friendly and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security headers.
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.
