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. 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

      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

    • High

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 agency positions itself as a trusted local partner in the Franche-Comté region, leveraging a multidisciplinary team of four partners to provide end-to-end communication and marketing solutions. Their business model focuses on personalized client engagement and turnkey project delivery, including print and digital media. The presence of a Plus-que-pro widget and numerous client testimonials suggests a strong emphasis on reputation management and quality assurance. The company targets SMEs and independent professionals seeking to improve their digital presence. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating an independent operation. The agency's market position is that of a specialized regional player with a focus on quality and client satisfaction.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a robust cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could be a gap in transparency and preparedness. The lack of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain legitimacy, but the website content and client reviews mitigate this concern. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing security-related policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program, ideally via a security.txt file, to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Ensure WHOIS information is complete and publicly available to improve domain trust and legitimacy perception.
  5. Continue maintaining strong privacy compliance and client trust through transparent cookie management and data protection practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern front-end technologies including CSS custom properties, JavaScript ES6+, and asynchronous loading of Google Tag Manager and Didomi scripts for analytics and consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance appears moderate based on the use of multiple external resources and scripts, but no explicit performance metrics were available. The CMS or hosting provider is not identified from the data. The site structure is clear with semantic HTML and structured data (JSON-LD) for LocalBusiness and WebPage schema enhancing SEO. There is an opportunity to improve technical security by adding missing HTTP security headers and optimizing script loading strategies.
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.
