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

Check These is a small French-language informational website focused on IT topics such as cloud computing, web hosting, shell scripting, and Apache mod_rewrite. It serves individuals and businesses interested in technology and web infrastructure by providing educational articles. The site is built on WordPress 6.8.1 and uses modern web technologies with good mobile optimization and accessibility. However, it lacks critical privacy and security documentation such as privacy policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and security policies. No contact information or incident response channels are provided, which limits trust and compliance. The site uses HTTPS but does not implement security headers or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the website is functional and informative but requires improvements in privacy, security, and business transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 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

The website operates as a niche content publisher in the technology sector, targeting IT professionals and enthusiasts. It does not appear to have a commercial business model beyond content publication. The presence of a partner link to Rennesonrails suggests some collaboration or endorsement. The lack of contact details and corporate information indicates a small or individual-run operation. The content is relevant and well-structured, supporting a good user experience. Growth potential may be limited without enhanced trust signals and business transparency.

Security posture

The website has a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, which is mandatory. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and related regulations. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, which reduces privacy risks but also limits business intelligence. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires significant improvements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Create a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear contact information including email and phone to enhance business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform (version 6.8.1) with standard HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. It uses responsive design techniques and includes accessibility features such as skip links for screen readers. Performance is moderate with no obvious broken elements. No external analytics or advertising scripts were detected, which simplifies privacy compliance. The site lacks advanced SEO metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data for business or organization. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and security configurations.
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.
