Cofrac · Government · France
Medium risk. 5 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.
Cofrac is the unique French national accreditation body established in 1994, responsible for ensuring the competence and impartiality of conformity assessment bodies such as laboratories, certification, and inspection organizations. The website reflects a well-established government or non-profit entity with a strong market position in France and international recognition through multilateral agreements. The site offers comprehensive information about accreditation, services, news, and recruitment, targeting professionals and organizations seeking accreditation services. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates Matomo analytics and Google reCAPTCHA for security and user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a professional design and clear navigation. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and a public security policy are absent. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to AFNIC policies or privacy protection, which slightly reduces trustworthiness but does not detract significantly given the official nature of the content and branding. No signs of WAF blocking or security challenges were detected, and the site is safe with no adult or questionable content. Overall, Cofrac's website demonstrates a mature digital presence suitable for its role as a national accreditation authority, with room for improvement in explicit security disclosures and incident response transparency.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
