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

Expertises Territoires is a professional network platform affiliated with CEREMA, a French public organization focused on territorial expertise. The website serves elected officials, community and state agents, experts, companies, and civil society members by facilitating collaboration, knowledge sharing, and co-construction of territorial solutions. It features communities, partners, and domains of action such as territorial engineering, building, mobility, transport infrastructure, environment, and coastline management. The platform is bilingual (French and English) and emphasizes community engagement and professional networking. Technically, the website is built on the Jalios CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap 3.4.1, Slick Carousel, and LightGallery. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Cookie consent is implemented with a clear banner, and privacy and legal notices are present, indicating compliance with GDPR requirements. However, no explicit security headers or incident response policies are visible in the provided content. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern, reducing trustworthiness from a domain registration perspective. Despite this, the website's branding and partner affiliations suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site is professional, secure, and compliant but would benefit from enhanced transparency in security policies and domain registration information.

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

5 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 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 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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

The website targets a niche market of territorial actors in France, including government officials and experts. It operates as a collaborative knowledge-sharing platform, leveraging partnerships with recognized organizations such as Lerameau, France Ville Durable, and Cinov. The business model focuses on community engagement and expertise co-construction rather than direct commercial transactions. The platform's affiliation with CEREMA enhances its credibility and market position. Growth potential lies in expanding community features and integrating more interactive tools. The partnership ecosystem is strong, supporting the platform's mission and reach within the territorial governance sector.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, and privacy policies indicate GDPR compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a notable gap, potentially impacting domain legitimacy perception. Overall, the site maintains a secure environment appropriate for its informational and collaborative purpose but should enhance transparency and technical security controls to strengthen trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Verify and update domain WHOIS information to ensure registration data is complete and publicly accessible.
  4. Conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate any potential vulnerabilities or outdated libraries.
  5. Enhance analytics transparency and consider adding explicit data retention policies to align with privacy best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Jalios CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 3.4.1, and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. It uses LightGallery for media display and Toastr for notifications. The site is responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Performance is moderate, with no major blocking scripts detected. The cookie consent implementation is modern and user-friendly. However, the absence of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data represent technical risks. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and domain management improvements.
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.
