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

Flamme Verte is a French organization operating under the Syndicat des énergies renouvelables (SER) that provides a certification label for ecological, economical, and high-performance domestic wood heating appliances. The website serves as an authoritative resource offering detailed information on the benefits of wood heating, financial aids, types of appliances, installation guidance, and maintenance advice. It targets both consumers and professionals in the energy sector, positioning itself as a trusted label and information hub in France. Technically, the website is built on the SPIP CMS platform with modern web technologies including Bootstrap for responsive design, JavaScript modules, and image galleries. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and SEO-friendly. It uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and defers script loading to improve performance. Analytics are implemented via a Matomo/Piwik instance, respecting user privacy with a cookie consent mechanism. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. Contact information is available via postal address and contact form, but no direct phone numbers or emails were found. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for the Flamme Verte label. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for organizations and does not detract from legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security.txt file, and providing incident response contacts to improve security posture and transparency.

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.

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 28 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Flamme Verte operates in the energy sector focusing on renewable wood heating solutions. Its business model revolves around certifying heating appliances and educating the public and professionals about ecological heating options. The organization benefits from its association with the Syndicat des énergies renouvelables, enhancing credibility and market reach. The website supports growth by providing comprehensive resources, financial aid information, and professional services such as labelling and partnerships with laboratories. The presence on social media platforms and a dedicated professional portal indicates a mature ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include certification fees and partnerships. The target audience includes homeowners, installers, and manufacturers in France. The site’s content quality and branding consistency support a strong market position as a trusted certification label.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate compliance with GDPR, but further transparency on data retention and processing would strengthen privacy practices. Overall, the site is secure for general users but could improve its security maturity by adopting additional headers, publishing security.txt, and formalizing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts, improving transparency and security culture.
  3. Enhance privacy disclosures with detailed data retention policies and processing information to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  4. Consider adding direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved user trust and support accessibility.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics to ensure no privacy or security risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses the SPIP CMS platform combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and modern JavaScript libraries such as lightGallery and Splide for interactive content. The use of deferred script loading and preloading of fonts and images indicates attention to performance optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features including skip links and ARIA labels. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter cards, and structured JSON-LD data describing the organization and content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site’s performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing image delivery and caching strategies. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content.
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.
