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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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

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 association operates in a niche market focused on digital reuse and free software advocacy within France. Its business model is non-profit, relying on community engagement and educational events. The website content indicates active collaboration with educational institutions and local partners. The organization maintains a consistent brand and regularly updates its blog with relevant content. There is no evidence of commercial advertising or monetization, emphasizing its community-driven mission. The lack of direct contact information on the site may limit immediate outreach but aligns with typical non-profit communication practices. The association's market position is stable within its specialized domain, with potential for growth through partnerships and increased visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies are publicly available, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. The use of a modern WordPress version reduces risks from known vulnerabilities, but regular plugin and theme audits are recommended. The site does not employ tracking or advertising scripts, minimizing privacy risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small non-profit but could benefit from enhanced policies and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and improve privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Include clear contact information such as official emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.3, utilizing standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. The theme used is 'twentytwenty', a default WordPress theme, indicating a straightforward and maintainable setup. Performance is moderate, with deferred JavaScript loading and responsive design elements. Accessibility features such as screen-reader text and semantic HTML are present, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No advanced frameworks or third-party analytics/tracking tools are detected, which simplifies the technical footprint but limits marketing insights. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content.
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.
