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

Diplomeo is a well-established French educational orientation platform founded in 2011, serving over 300,000 students annually. It specializes in helping users find suitable diplomas, schools, and career paths in France. The platform offers comprehensive services including diploma and school searches, career guidance, event listings, and school reviews, positioning itself as a market leader in educational orientation within France. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Turbo Frames and StimulusJS, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent mechanisms present but no explicit privacy or terms of service pages detected. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, though improvements in security and privacy transparency are recommended.

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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

  3. 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

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

Diplomeo operates in the education sector, targeting students and prospective learners in France. Its business model revolves around providing an online platform for educational orientation, likely monetized through partnerships with educational institutions and advertising. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive database of diplomas, schools, and career information, combined with user reviews and event participation features. The presence of partner domains such as hellowork.com suggests a partnership ecosystem supporting its operations. Growth indicators include a large user base and active event listings. Strategic observations highlight the need to enhance privacy and security transparency to maintain user trust and comply with evolving regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security indicates room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts suggests limited incident response readiness. Compliance gaps exist in privacy policy transparency and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents and data protection inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Turbo Frames and StimulusJS for dynamic content loading and interactivity. The use of web fonts and SVG graphics contributes to a polished user experience. Hosting is managed through a reputable registrar, Gandi SAS. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of CMS identification suggests a custom or proprietary solution, which may require dedicated maintenance resources. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could impact resilience against certain attacks. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and performance optimization further.
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.
