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

The Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI) is an independent French organization established in 1934, responsible for accrediting engineering schools in France and abroad. It promotes the engineering profession and ensures the quality of engineering education. The website serves as an official portal providing information on accreditation, quality assurance, international activities, and communication related to engineering education. The target audience includes educational institutions, students, young graduates, and recruiters. The CTI holds recognized certifications such as ENQA, EUR-ACE, EQAR, and CeQuInt, reinforcing its authoritative position in the education sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins for forms, multilingual support, and email obfuscation. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices, though some accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, and the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. However, security headers are not visibly present, and no cookie consent mechanism was detected, indicating areas for improvement in privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and email address protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data is a concern but likely due to registry privacy or query failure rather than malicious intent. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could enhance its security posture and privacy compliance. Strategically, the CTI should implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR, add security headers to improve protection against common web attacks, and publish explicit security and incident response policies. Regular updates and monitoring of the WordPress environment are recommended to maintain security and performance.

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

9 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

    • 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

  2. 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

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

CTI operates as a regulatory and accreditation body within the French education and government sectors. Its market position is strong as the official authority for engineering degree accreditation in France. The business model is likely funded through government and institutional partnerships, focusing on quality assurance and international recognition of engineering programs. The organization targets educational institutions, students, and recruiters, providing accreditation services, quality development, and promotion of the engineering profession. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized European and international quality assurance agencies. Growth indicators include active communication, international projects, and certification renewals. The website reflects a stable, medium-sized entity with a consistent brand and professional content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and email obfuscation to protect contact information. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly available, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism also indicates incomplete GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data absence is a minor concern but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the site is secure but would benefit from enhanced security headers, documented policies, and privacy compliance improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures accessible to users.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of plugins including Contact Form 7 for forms, Email Encoder Bundle for email protection, WPGlobus for multilingual support, and Swiper.js for content sliders. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for tracking and user interaction analysis. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive CSS and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected in the HTML. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site could improve by implementing modern security headers and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms. Technical debt appears low but ongoing maintenance is necessary to keep the platform secure and performant.
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.
