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

ENSAT is a reputable public engineering school in France specializing in agronomy, environment, food, and oenology education. It serves a medium-sized student body and maintains strong partnerships with regional and international institutions. The website reflects a professional educational institution with clear communication channels and certifications. Technically, the site uses a Java-based CMS (Ametys) with modern front-end libraries and implements cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced, though security headers could be improved. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, but this does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, ENSAT presents a trustworthy and well-maintained digital presence.

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

7 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 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

  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';…

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

ENSAT operates as a public educational institution under the INP Toulouse umbrella, focusing on engineering education in agriculture and related fields. Its business model is centered on academic programs, research, and industry collaboration. The school leverages certifications such as CTI and EUR-ACE to maintain quality and attract students. The website targets prospective students, apprentices, partner companies, and international students. Its partnership ecosystem includes universities, research centers, and industry groups, enhancing its market position. The institution's digital presence supports its educational mission with relevant content and engagement channels.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent tools to comply with privacy regulations. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which are recommended to enhance security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is noted. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an educational website but could be strengthened by implementing additional security headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Regularly audit third-party libraries and scripts for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Ametys CMS, a Java-based content management system, combined with front-end technologies like jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel. It uses tarteaucitron.js for cookie consent management, indicating GDPR awareness. The site is moderately performant with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is basic but present through meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting details are not explicit, but the site uses HTTPS and external resources from trusted domains. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could be beneficial.
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.
