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

Conséquences is a French non-profit organization established in 2022, dedicated to raising awareness about the cascading effects of climate change on local communities and daily life in France. The organization collaborates with experts, media, and field actors to document and communicate these impacts. The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and includes modern plugins such as Smart Slider 3 and a cookie consent mechanism, reflecting a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, but lacks advanced security headers and incident response disclosures. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy, though it would benefit from publishing privacy and terms of service policies and enhancing security configurations.

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

14 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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: Telnet

      Port 23 (Telnet) is publicly accessible - Telnet - Unencrypted remote access

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

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

      Critical Service Exposed: SMB

      Port 445 (SMB) is publicly accessible - SMB - Windows file sharing, high risk

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      Critical Service Exposed: MongoDB

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

The organization occupies a niche position in the French non-profit sector focused on environmental and climate change awareness. Its business model revolves around advocacy, education, and media collaboration rather than commercial activities. The target audience includes environmentally conscious French citizens and stakeholders interested in climate impacts. The website content and structure support its mission effectively, with clear navigation and relevant campaigns. Partnerships with local media and experts enhance its credibility. Growth potential lies in expanding outreach and formalizing compliance and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly configured, and a cookie consent banner with detailed preferences is present, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and DNSSEC reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, which limits transparency in security management. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The site should implement recommended security headers and publish security policies to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance legal compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Create and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with the Avada theme, leveraging plugins such as Smart Slider 3 and Cookie Law Info for enhanced user experience and compliance. The hosting registrar is Squarespace Domains II LLC, with DNS hosted on Google Domains name servers. The site uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with jQuery. Performance is moderate with some caching enabled via W3 Total Cache. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are adequately implemented with meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility features are basic but present. Opportunities exist to improve technical security and performance monitoring.
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.
