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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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"

      • 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"

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

EFB holds a strong market position as the primary regional center for lawyer training in the Paris court of appeal jurisdiction, serving multiple departments. Its business model focuses on delivering high-quality legal education and professional development, catering to a large audience of initial law students and practicing legal professionals. Revenue streams likely include tuition, continuing education fees, and partnerships. The institution maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with related platforms and legal bodies, enhancing its service offerings. Growth indicators include a large student body and extensive continuing education participation. The website's content and structure reflect a mature organization with consistent branding and strong trust signals.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. It uses reputable plugins and frameworks, minimizing vulnerability risks. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security policy and incident response information are not found, representing an area for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or security issues were detected in the content. The overall security score is high, but continuous monitoring and enhancement of security governance documentation are recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility and contact information for the Data Protection Officer (DPO).
  5. Consider implementing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, Yoast SEO for optimization, and WP Rocket for performance enhancement. It uses various JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Royal Elementor Addons. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social sharing. Performance is moderate, with preloading and lazy loading techniques in use. No hosting provider details were explicitly found. The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable platform suitable for an educational institution.
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.
