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

France Sclérose en Plaques is a well-established French non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting patients with multiple sclerosis, funding research, and raising public awareness. The organization operates a professional and content-rich website that effectively communicates its mission, services, and opportunities for public engagement such as donations and volunteering. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with multiple social media channels and clear navigation tailored to its target audience of patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, and reCAPTCHA for security and user experience, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and consent management, though some HTTP security headers could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain ownership verification but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the consistent branding and trust indicators. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a reliable resource in the healthcare non-profit sector.

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

7 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. 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: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs

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

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 holds a strong market position in France as a key player in multiple sclerosis advocacy and research funding. Its business model relies on donations, fundraising events, and partnerships, supported by a transparent and user-friendly donation system. The organization targets patients, families, healthcare providers, and researchers, leveraging social media and events to engage its community. The presence of the 'Don en Confiance' certification and testimonials enhances credibility. The website content and structure reflect a strategic focus on education, support, and research advancement, positioning the foundation as a trusted leader in its niche. Growth opportunities include expanding digital engagement and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

The website maintains a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact, which could enhance trust and preparedness. The site does not publish a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be elevated by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to security incidents promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including jQuery, Pristine.js for form validation, Swiper.js for sliders, Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is well-structured with valid HTML and CSS, optimized for mobile devices, and includes accessibility features such as skip navigation links and adjustable contrast/font settings. Performance is moderate with some reliance on external CDNs and asynchronous script loading. The CMS appears custom or proprietary with a Smart-2025 theme. There is no explicit hosting provider identified. Technical debt is minimal, but security header implementation and WHOIS data transparency could be improved to reduce risk.
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.
