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

6 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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 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';…

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

Cityz Media operates in the media sector focusing on outdoor advertising and communication. Their business model revolves around providing tailored media solutions to increase brand visibility and public engagement in urban environments. The company targets municipalities, transport networks, real estate owners, and private individuals seeking to leverage outdoor media. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a clear market position in France. The use of editorial partnerships and data insights suggests a strategic approach to content and audience engagement. However, the lack of detailed business registration or contact information on the site limits external verification of business credentials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented via a reputable provider. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces the defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact points indicates limited transparency in security governance. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the cookie banner but lacks a comprehensive privacy policy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a media website but could be enhanced with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and transparency.
  2. Implement security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, HSTS) to strengthen website security.
  3. Add clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility.
  4. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Plyr for enhanced user experience. SEO is managed through the Yoast SEO plugin, ensuring proper metadata and structured data usage. Performance is moderate, with preconnect hints and lazy loading implemented. Cookie consent is managed by CookiePro, indicating attention to privacy compliance. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with ARIA roles and semantic HTML elements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. There is room for improvement in security headers and direct contact data availability. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence.
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.
