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

Glooton is a French-language technology news and tutorial website providing content on current technology trends, cybersecurity, blockchain, AI, and ethical discussions related to technology. The site targets French-speaking technology enthusiasts and professionals seeking in-depth articles and practical tutorials. The business model appears to be content publishing, likely monetized through advertising and affiliate marketing. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with common plugins such as Rank Math PRO for SEO and Matomo for analytics, using modern web technologies like jQuery and Slick Carousel. The website is mobile-optimized and well-structured with good SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, raising some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the active and professional website presence mitigates this somewhat. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures.

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. 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';…

  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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

    • 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

Glooton occupies a niche in the French technology news market, focusing on emerging technologies and societal impacts. Its competitive advantage lies in providing detailed tutorials and ethical discussions alongside news. The business likely generates revenue through advertising and affiliate links, targeting tech-savvy French speakers. The site shows consistent content updates and uses SEO tools to maintain visibility. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries. The lack of public WHOIS data is unusual and could impact trust. Growth indicators include recent content and use of analytics. Strategic observations suggest focusing on compliance and security enhancements to build greater trust and possibly expanding content offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended best practices. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which are critical for GDPR compliance. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. The use of Matomo analytics indicates some privacy-conscious tracking, but overall privacy compliance is weak. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy. The site should implement security headers, formal privacy and cookie policies, and a vulnerability disclosure process to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits of third-party libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Google Fonts. SEO is managed via Rank Math PRO plugin, and analytics are handled by Matomo, indicating a focus on privacy. The site is mobile responsive and well-structured with semantic HTML. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous script loading. However, the absence of security headers and formal privacy mechanisms indicates technical debt in security and compliance. Hosting provider details are not evident. The site would benefit from performance optimization and enhanced security configurations to reduce risk and improve user trust.
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.
