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

Commerce Équitable France is a French non-profit collective representing actors in the fair trade sector. The organization focuses on advocacy, education, campaigns, and member services to promote fair trade practices nationally. The website is well-structured, professionally designed, and targets both fair trade stakeholders and the general public interested in ethical commerce. The digital infrastructure is based on WordPress with modern plugins and analytics tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance evident through cookie consent and privacy policies. However, some security headers are missing and WHOIS data is privacy-protected, which slightly reduces transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, supporting the organization's mission effectively.

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 organization holds a strong position as a national collective in the French fair trade sector, providing representation, education, and advocacy services. Its business model is non-profit, focusing on collaboration among fair trade actors. The website content and linked partner domains indicate a well-established network and active campaigns. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests reliance on contact forms and online engagement. The organization appears medium-sized with a founding date around 2018, consistent with the domain's published date. The presence of multiple social media channels and event partnerships reflects a strategic approach to outreach and community building.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. Use of Matomo analytics with DoNotTrack enabled shows privacy awareness. However, the lack of certain security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options presents potential risks such as clickjacking or content injection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Regular updates and improved header implementation are recommended to enhance security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on WordPress with Elementor and several plugins including Mailjet for email forms, Search Filter Pro, and OpenAgenda for event management. It uses Google Tag Manager and Matomo for analytics, indicating a hybrid approach to data collection. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with lazy loading for images and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern but would benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
