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

GIO Notaires is a professional alliance of nine certified or ISO-certification-pursuing notarial offices in France, offering a wide range of legal and notarial services including family law, business law, wealth management, and real estate. The group emphasizes proximity, adaptability, and performance, serving clients primarily in Ile-de-France and other regions with a team of 24 notaries and 180 collaborators. The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates modern technologies such as Google Maps and cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting a moderate to good level of digital maturity. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent in place, though security headers are not detected and could be improved. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is justified for this type of professional service. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with comprehensive contact information and compliance with GDPR.

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

  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

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

GIO Notaires operates as a cooperative group of notarial offices, leveraging ISO certification to ensure quality and consistency. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive legal services with a strong client relationship orientation. The alliance aims to be a leader in the notarial sector by pooling expertise and resources. Their market positioning is strengthened by professional certifications and a broad geographic presence. The website supports their business goals with informative content, downloadable resources, and client engagement tools such as contact forms. Partnerships with individual notarial offices are evident through linked domains. The group targets both individuals and professionals, indicating a diverse client base.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, uses cookie consent compliant with GDPR, and avoids exposing sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to enhance security. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The contact form includes acceptance of data protection policy, indicating awareness of privacy requirements. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not present, suggesting room for improvement in security maturity and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen security posture.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy policy with detailed data retention and processing information to improve GDPR compliance.
  5. Consider adding incident response contact information to improve security readiness and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor and Elementor Pro for page building, with additional plugins such as Google Maps Easy for location services and Complianz GDPR for cookie consent management. The technology stack is modern and widely supported, ensuring good compatibility and maintainability. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading speed and resource management. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. SEO practices are evident through meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The absence of hosting provider information limits deeper infrastructure analysis.
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.
