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

8 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 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

  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"

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

France Télévisions holds a leading position in the French media sector as a public broadcaster. Its business model revolves around content production and distribution, supported by public funding and advertising. The website reflects a focus on corporate transparency and audience engagement through news and job postings. The use of advanced analytics and consent management indicates a strategic approach to user data and compliance. The absence of direct contact information on the analyzed page suggests centralized contact points elsewhere on the corporate site. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and consistent messaging, reinforcing trust and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, CSP, and other security headers in place. The integration of consent management tools aligns with privacy regulations, enhancing user trust. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security documentation and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance visibility of official contact information for business and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools for security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with integration of New Relic for performance monitoring and Didomi for consent management. TagCommander is used for tag management, and ElfSight widgets provide additional interactive features. The site is optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in script loading and asset management. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of AFNIC domain and HTTPS indicates a professional hosting environment. No CMS was explicitly detected from the provided data.
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.
