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

6 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

  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 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';…

  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 SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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 agency occupies a critical niche in environmental governance, managing water resources and biodiversity in a major French river basin. Its business model is public-sector funded, relying on water redevances and government support to finance projects and initiatives. The website targets a diverse audience including public entities, private companies, farmers, educators, and NGOs. The agency's competitive advantage lies in its authoritative mandate, extensive funding programs, and comprehensive support services. Growth indicators include active calls for projects, new recruitment drives, and expanding digital services. Partnerships with other water agencies and international cooperation initiatives are evident, enhancing its ecosystem. The agency maintains a strong brand presence and transparent communication strategy, positioning it as a trusted environmental steward.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism via Tarteaucitron, ensuring GDPR compliance. Use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which are important for transparency and user trust. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from formalizing and publishing security governance documents and enhancing HTTP header protections.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to prevent exploitation of known vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance form security by adding CAPTCHA or other anti-bot mechanisms to prevent automated abuse.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 9 CMS, a modern and widely used content management system, ensuring a solid foundation for content management and security updates. The use of Foundation CSS framework and Glide.js for UI components indicates a focus on responsive and interactive design. Matomo analytics is integrated for privacy-respecting visitor tracking, complemented by Tarteaucitron for cookie consent management. The site is hosted likely by OVH, a reputable hosting provider, as inferred from WHOIS data. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses multiple CSS and JS libraries, including jQuery and CKEditor Accordion, indicating a rich user experience. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable technologies in the provided content. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and formalize security governance documentation.
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.
