Risk levelHigh

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

Chival is a small non-profit association based in France focused on promoting yoga, permaculture, and animal welfare through retreats, workshops, and educational events. The website serves as an informational and community engagement platform targeting individuals interested in ecological sustainability, ethical veganism, and holistic well-being. The technical infrastructure is built on WordPress with common plugins for forms and social media integration, hosted by OVH, a reputable provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile use but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but could be improved by adding security headers and formal policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and consistent with its stated mission but would benefit from enhanced compliance and security practices.

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

10 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

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

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

Chival occupies a niche market within the ecological and wellness community in southern France. Its competitive advantage lies in its integrated approach combining yoga, permaculture, and animal rights advocacy. The business model is community and event-driven, relying on memberships, retreats, and workshops. The association leverages partnerships such as HelloAsso for payment processing. Growth potential is tied to increasing interest in sustainable lifestyles and ethical consumption. The website content and social media presence support community building but lack commercial scale. Strategic observations include the need for clearer privacy and security policies to build trust and comply with regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a vulnerability disclosure policy indicate gaps in security best practices. No known vulnerabilities or malware were detected in the content. Incident response readiness is not documented. The site uses standard WordPress plugins which should be regularly updated to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to reduce vulnerability risks.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Twenty Seventeen theme and common plugins like Contact Form 7 and Instagram Feed. It uses jQuery and loads resources from trusted CDNs such as maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com. Hosting is provided by OVH, a reputable French hosting provider. The site is moderately performant with responsive design elements but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility optimizations. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking services, indicating minimal data collection. The technical stack is standard for small non-profit organizations but could benefit from modernization and enhanced 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.
