Security score

35/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Enercitif is a Paris-based citizen cooperative focused on developing and operating photovoltaic solar installations on public and private buildings. The cooperative empowers citizens to invest and participate in renewable energy production, promoting local energy transition and sustainability. The website reflects a community-driven business model with transparent fundraising and active engagement. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Divi theme, using common web technologies and caching for performance. Hosting is provided by Infomaniak, a reputable provider. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is limited due to absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its mission, though improvements in security and privacy disclosures 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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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';…

  3. 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

Enercitif occupies a niche market as the first solar cooperative in Paris, leveraging citizen participation to finance and operate renewable energy projects. Its business model is cooperative and democratic, with members holding voting power and investing capital. The cooperative has established partnerships with local government and energy organizations, enhancing credibility and reach. Revenue streams come from member subscriptions and investments in solar installations. The target audience includes environmentally conscious citizens and local stakeholders. Growth potential is indicated by ongoing fundraising campaigns and plans for new installations. The partnership ecosystem includes public institutions and renewable energy networks, supporting operational and promotional activities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or security policies are published, limiting transparency on security governance. Forms are present but no advanced security measures like CAPTCHA or input validation details are visible. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be enhanced to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Add an incident response or security contact page to provide transparency and readiness for security events.
  5. Regularly audit and update plugins and themes to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain platform security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with the Divi theme and uses plugins such as W3 Total Cache for performance optimization. It loads Google Fonts (Montserrat, Lato, Open Sans) and Font Awesome for icons. JavaScript libraries include jQuery. Hosting is via Infomaniak, indicated by the nameservers. The site uses minified CSS and JS for faster loading. Performance is moderate with caching enabled, and mobile optimization is good with responsive design. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No critical technical debt or outdated technologies were detected, but security enhancements are advisable.
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.
