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

3 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 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. 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

Ellisphere holds a strong market position as a leader in business information in France, offering a suite of services including data marketing, risk management, compliance, and training. Its business model is B2B, focusing on providing actionable business intelligence and compliance solutions. The company appears to have a large operational scale, supported by a well-maintained digital presence and integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms. The use of Weglot indicates a strategic approach to internationalization. The lack of visible contact details and domain registration transparency could impact customer trust and should be addressed. No clear parent or subsidiary relationships were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs several security best practices such as cookie consent management and monitoring of Content Security Policy violations. However, explicit security headers beyond HSTS are not clearly present, and no published security or incident response policies were found. The absence of contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures limits the site's security transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate to good but could benefit from enhanced header policies, published security documentation, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response contacts.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy.
  3. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve legitimacy and trust.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Enhance accessibility compliance and conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Matomo, Hotjar, and Cookiebot for analytics and compliance. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket. The site is bilingual using Weglot translation services. SEO is managed with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data is implemented via JSON-LD. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. Some technical debt may exist in the form of deferred and lazy-loaded scripts, but overall the infrastructure supports a professional and performant user experience. Hosting provider details were not identified 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.
