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

The website clementcharleux.com serves as a personal portfolio and blog for Clement Charleux, a French writer and photographer. It features a variety of artistic content including blog posts, photo galleries, interviews, and travel stories. The site targets a general audience interested in art, literature, and photography, positioning itself as a niche personal brand rather than a commercial enterprise. The business model revolves around content publishing and personal branding without evident monetization mechanisms. Technically, the site is built on WordPress and employs common web technologies such as jQuery, Modernizr, and various plugins for enhanced user experience like infinite scrolling and social sharing. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with a good design quality and clear navigation. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is minimal. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and formal security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR. Contact information is available via a contact page and social media links, but no dedicated incident response or security contact channels are provided. Overall, the website is safe and trustworthy for general audiences, with no adult or explicit content. The domain uses privacy protection for WHOIS data, which is typical for personal sites. Strategic recommendations include implementing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and enhancing compliance and incident response readiness to improve trust and security posture.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MongoDB

      Port 27017 (MongoDB) is publicly accessible - MongoDB - NoSQL database

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MongoDB using firewall or VPN

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

Clement Charleux operates as an individual content creator focusing on writing and photography. The website acts as a digital portfolio and blog, targeting art enthusiasts and literary audiences primarily in France. The business model is content-driven with no direct e-commerce or subscription services evident. The site demonstrates consistent branding and a steady flow of content updates, indicating active engagement. Social media integration with Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TripAdvisor supports audience outreach and community building. There is no indication of partnerships or subsidiaries. Growth potential lies in expanding content reach and formalizing compliance and security practices.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels exist. The contact form and social media links are the primary data collection points, with no visible anti-spam or CAPTCHA protections. The absence of privacy and cookie policies represents a compliance risk under GDPR. Overall, the site is low risk but would benefit from enhanced security controls and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Establish a security incident response policy and provide dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  4. Enhance contact forms with CAPTCHA or other anti-spam mechanisms to prevent abuse.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a theme named LiquidFolio and uses a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Modernizr, Superfish, Isotope, Sharrre, and Fancybox. It employs LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and scripts from its own domain and trusted external sources such as Google Fonts and Facebook SDK. The site is responsive and mobile-friendly with a clear navigation menu and infinite scroll for blog posts. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO metadata is minimal. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in optimization and accessibility compliance.
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.
