Other · N/a

High risk. 10 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Security headers and 4 other checks.

Security score

49/100

Risk levelHigh

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

The website www.essonne.fr currently presents a security challenge page indicating anti-DDoS flood protection and firewall measures are active. This prevents access to the actual website content, limiting the ability to analyze business operations or services. The page is minimalistic, with no visible contact information, privacy policies, or business details. The WHOIS data is unavailable, with no registrar, creation, or registrant information, which raises concerns about transparency and legitimacy. Technically, the site uses obfuscated JavaScript for bot detection and relies on Google Fonts for styling. No analytics or tracking technologies are detected, and no forms or user input fields are present. Overall, the site appears to be in a protective mode, blocking access to normal users and bots alike.

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

10 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

Due to the lack of accessible content and absence of business information on the page, no meaningful business intelligence can be derived. The domain appears to be related to a governmental or regional entity (Essonne is a French department), but no explicit business model, market positioning, or services are disclosed. The absence of contact details and policies further limits insights into operational maturity or customer engagement. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual for a public entity and may indicate privacy protection or registration issues.

Security posture

The website is protected by a Web Application Firewall or similar anti-DDoS mechanism, as evidenced by the challenge page. While this indicates some level of security awareness, the lack of HTTPS information, security headers, and visible security policies is concerning. The obfuscated JavaScript is used for bot detection but may impact accessibility and user experience. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The security posture is minimal and focused on perimeter defense without transparency or user trust signals.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a valid HTTPS certificate to secure communications.
  2. Provide clear and accessible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to comply with regulations and build trust.
  3. Publish contact information including emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses to improve business credibility.
  4. Make WHOIS information transparent or ensure domain registration details are publicly available to enhance legitimacy.
  5. Improve website accessibility and SEO by removing or minimizing WAF challenge interruptions for legitimate users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic web technologies including Google Fonts and obfuscated JavaScript for bot detection. No modern CMS or frameworks are detected. The page is a static challenge page with minimal content and no interactive elements. Performance is likely slow due to the blocking mechanism and lack of optimization. Mobile optimization is basic, and SEO is poor due to lack of meta tags and content. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible. The technical implementation focuses on security blocking rather than user experience or content delivery.
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.
