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

The Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI) is an established French independent accreditation body responsible for evaluating and accrediting engineering schools in France and abroad. Founded in 1934, it plays a critical role in maintaining and promoting the quality of engineering education and the engineering profession. The website reflects a professional and authoritative presence with comprehensive information on accreditation, quality assurance, and international partnerships. The target audience includes engineering schools, academic leaders, experts, students, and recruiters. The business model is regulatory and institutional, supported by government and partner organizations. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common web technologies such as jQuery and Google Analytics, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data reduces domain trust from a registration perspective, but the website content and certifications strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and serves its educational and regulatory mission effectively.

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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

CTI holds a strong market position as the official accreditation authority for engineering education in France, recognized internationally through certifications like ENQA, EUR-ACE, EQAR, and CeQuInt. Its competitive advantage lies in its legal mandate, long history, and extensive partnerships. The organization targets academic institutions, government bodies, and industry recruiters, focusing on quality assurance and internationalization of engineering education. Revenue streams likely include government funding and service fees related to accreditation processes. The partnership ecosystem includes European and international quality assurance networks, enhancing its credibility and reach. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining digital maturity and compliance with evolving privacy and security regulations to sustain trust and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No explicit incident response or security policies are published, and no security.txt file is present for vulnerability disclosure. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices, improving transparency, and formalizing incident response readiness. These improvements would reduce potential vulnerabilities and strengthen user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed privacy policy to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is complete and publicly available to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements, with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile responsiveness and basic accessibility features. SEO optimization is adequate with proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the data. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks, improving accessibility compliance, and enhancing performance optimization to reduce load times and improve user experience.
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.
