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. 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention gartner.fr, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for gartner.fr right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Gartner operates in the technology sector, targeting enterprise clients and business leaders seeking research and advisory services. The business model centers on providing insights, benchmarking, market analysis, and strategic planning tools. The French site supports this by offering localized content and access to newsletters and events. Gartner's competitive advantage lies in its extensive research capabilities and global brand recognition. The company maintains partnerships with executive networks such as Evanta and offers career opportunities through dedicated domains. The site content and structure indicate a focus on high-value enterprise customers and thought leadership in technology and business strategy.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration, uses reCAPTCHA to protect forms, and integrates Dynatrace for performance and security monitoring. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not clearly present in the provided data and should be verified. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies is a gap. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent is disabled, which may affect compliance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with explicit security headers and published incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable a visible and compliant cookie consent mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels to improve security transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and update security practices aligned with evolving compliance requirements and threat landscape.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for performance optimization. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, along with Dynatrace for monitoring and A/B Tasty for marketing experiments. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and lazy loading of images. Structured data in JSON-LD format enhances SEO and content discoverability. The technical infrastructure supports fast loading times and good accessibility, contributing to a positive user experience. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and improve cookie consent implementation.
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.
