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

Exalto operates the E-licence platform, a specialized extranet and intranet portal designed exclusively for French sports federations. With over 20 years of experience and 40 federation clients, the company provides comprehensive license and competition management solutions tailored to the sports sector. The website reflects a mature business with a clear focus on B2B services for sports organizations in France. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and various plugins for enhanced user experience and functionality. While HTTPS is properly implemented, the absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. The site actively engages users via social media and newsletter subscriptions but lacks explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting the legitimacy and stability of the operation.

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.

Priority findings

9 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

  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 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';…

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

Exalto holds a strong market position as a niche provider of information systems for French sports federations. Their business model centers on delivering modular software solutions that address federation-specific needs such as affiliation, accounting, event management, and communication. The company leverages a partnership ecosystem and maintains active client engagement through testimonials and references. Growth indicators include recent federation contracts and continuous platform evolution. The target customer segment is well-defined, focusing on federations requiring tailored digital management tools. Strategic observations suggest that maintaining compliance with evolving GDPR requirements and enhancing security posture will be critical for sustaining trust and competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy represent compliance and security gaps. No incident response contact channels are published, which may hinder timely communication in case of security events. The use of popular WordPress plugins necessitates vigilant patch management to mitigate vulnerabilities. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from implementing best practices in HTTP security headers, formal vulnerability disclosure, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and establish a clear vulnerability disclosure process.
  4. Provide incident response contact information to improve security communication.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to minimize vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform utilizing a variety of plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder, LayerSlider, Contact Form 7, and social sharing tools. The tech stack includes jQuery, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and integration with external services like Google Analytics and Facebook SDK. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident through meta tags and structured data. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is managed by GANDI, a reputable registrar. Technical risks include potential plugin vulnerabilities and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and enhance privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
