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

Coze.fr is a well-established regional cultural magazine and event listing platform focused on the Alsace region in France. It offers a comprehensive agenda of cultural events including concerts, exhibitions, festivals, and artist features, targeting residents and visitors interested in local culture. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and regularly updated content, positioning it as a trusted media source in its niche. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Yoast SEO and uses modern JavaScript libraries like Flickity for carousels. It integrates Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks security headers and explicit cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced protection and GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS data reduces trust slightly but the professional nature of the site and its social media presence support its legitimacy. Overall, Coze.fr presents a low-risk profile with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response documentation would further strengthen its posture.

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

12 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

  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: 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

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

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

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

  3. 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"

      • 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"

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

Coze.fr operates as a niche media outlet specializing in cultural content for the Alsace region. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive event listings and local artist coverage, supported by a loyal regional audience. The business model likely includes advertising, sponsored content, and possibly subscription or sales via its online shop. The presence of partner domains related to local institutions and payment processing indicates a collaborative ecosystem. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and active social media engagement. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with a focused regional market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options leaves some attack vectors open. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a public security policy or incident response contacts, which are important for transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via privacy policy presence but lacks explicit cookie consent. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with standard best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a clear cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact information for security issues.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy and hosting a security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS version 5.2.17 with Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization. It employs jQuery and Flickity for interactive UI components like carousels. Google Fonts are used for typography, and analytics/tracking are implemented via Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site loads asynchronously scripts to optimize performance. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility could be improved. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in image loading and script management.
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.
