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

Fondation du patrimoine is a leading French non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and restoration of cultural heritage across France. The website serves as a platform to engage donors, volunteers, and project owners by providing information about restoration projects and facilitating donations. The organization holds a strong market position as a primary actor in heritage preservation, targeting a broad audience interested in cultural and historical conservation. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with content likely managed via a headless CMS such as Strapi. The site demonstrates good digital maturity with responsive design, SEO optimization, and integration of Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing purposes. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements key security headers, and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy and incident response information, which are recommended for transparency and trust. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration verification, slightly reducing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and user-friendly interface aligned with its non-profit mission. Strategic improvements in security transparency and domain registration disclosure would enhance its credibility and compliance posture.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Fondation du patrimoine operates in the non-profit sector focused on heritage preservation. Its business model revolves around fundraising, donor engagement, and project support. The organization leverages partnerships and public goodwill to maintain its market leadership in France. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear branding and consistent messaging. Growth indicators include active campaigns, volunteer mobilization, and extensive project showcases. The partnership ecosystem is implied through content but not explicitly linked to external domains. Revenue streams primarily come from donations and grants. The target customer segments include cultural enthusiasts, philanthropists, and local communities invested in heritage conservation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforcement and comprehensive security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. However, the lack of a published security policy and incident response contacts indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file was found, which could be beneficial for responsible vulnerability reporting. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response contact or abuse email for security issues.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Improve WHOIS domain registration transparency to enhance trust and legitimacy.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating security headers and SSL configurations regularly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework, indicating a contemporary and scalable architecture. Integration with Google Tag Manager supports analytics and marketing efforts. The presence of preloaded fonts and optimized CSS suggests attention to performance and user experience. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with semantic HTML and structured content. Hosting details are not explicit, but CDN usage for media assets is evident. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to enhance performance further by optimizing image delivery and caching strategies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the organization's digital goals effectively.
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.
