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

Copylot Group is a French communication consulting group that unites multiple communication agencies under a collaborative and growth-oriented business model. The group focuses on advising and supporting brands and professionals in communication through shared tools, agile methods, and collective intelligence. Their services span branding, marketing, digitalization, audiovisual communication, and marketing studies. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA, and Axeptio for cookie consent management. However, the domain WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA implemented but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy policies. Contact is primarily via a web form and LinkedIn. Overall, the website presents a professional image but would benefit from improved transparency and security practices.

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

5 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 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 Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  5. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

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 group operates a collaborative network of communication agencies, each with its own domain and specialization, indicating a diversified service offering and a broad market reach within the media and communication sector in France. The business model emphasizes collective entrepreneurship and shared resources, targeting agency owners and communication professionals. The presence of multiple brands suggests a medium-sized enterprise with a strategic focus on growth and sustainability. The website content and linked domains reinforce the group's positioning as a significant player in the French communication consulting market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse, demonstrating a baseline security awareness. Cookie consent is managed via Axeptio, indicating GDPR compliance efforts. However, the absence of detected security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. The lack of published privacy policy and terms of service pages further weakens compliance transparency. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, limiting readiness for security incidents. The missing WHOIS data is a significant red flag that impacts trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and verify security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts to improve security readiness.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to establish domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Emajine CMS with jQuery 2.2.4, Google Maps API, Google Tag Manager, Google reCAPTCHA v3, and Axeptio for cookie consent. The site is mobile-optimized with a responsive design and uses slick carousel for image sliders. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data present but could be improved with more comprehensive structured data. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from updated libraries and enhanced security configurations. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data.
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.
