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

Fondation RTE pour les ruralités is a French non-profit foundation established in 2008 by RTE - RESEAU DE TRANSPORT D' ELECTRICITE, focused on supporting social cohesion and development in rural areas of metropolitan France. The foundation provides financial grants and human support to local initiatives, positioning itself as a key player in rural development with over 17 years of activity and significant funding impact. The website serves as an information hub and project submission portal for stakeholders and beneficiaries. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 with Bootstrap 5, integrates Matomo for analytics, and uses tarteaucitron for cookie consent management, reflecting a modern and privacy-conscious digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforcement, captcha on contact forms, and privacy compliance, though some security headers and explicit policies could be improved. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with the foundation's mission and parent organization.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 foundation operates as a non-profit entity under the aegis of RTE, targeting rural communities and project initiators in France. Its business model revolves around grant funding and project support, leveraging the parent company's resources and reputation. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation, multilingual support (French), and integration with social media channels for outreach. Partnerships with RTE and Fondation de France enhance credibility. The foundation's market position is stable with a focused niche in rural social cohesion, supported by consistent funding and project volume. Growth indicators include recent news updates and active project calls. The partnership ecosystem includes institutional and local stakeholders, with digital tools facilitating project submissions and communications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and privacy-focused cookie consent mechanisms. The use of captcha on contact forms reduces spam risk. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts is a gap in transparency and readiness. GDPR compliance is well addressed through privacy policies and consent tools. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the site's scope but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information by providing direct company emails or phone numbers for support and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and widely supported CMS, Drupal 10, combined with Bootstrap 5 for responsive design. It integrates Matomo analytics for privacy-respecting user tracking and uses tarteaucitron for cookie consent management, reflecting compliance with European privacy regulations. The site loads external scripts asynchronously and uses a captcha mechanism on forms to prevent spam. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but DNS servers indicate a multi-regional provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid and well-maintained.
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.
