Risk levelMedium

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

Groupe Pole operates as a network of specialized transporters focusing on pallet distribution and logistics across France and Europe. Established in 2009, the company leverages a collaborative business model to optimize delivery efficiency and environmental impact. Their market position is supported by a sizable network of 64 members and significant annual transport volumes. Technically, the website is built on Joomla! CMS with standard web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google services, hosted by OVH sas. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for GDPR compliance. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve in privacy and security transparency.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Groupe Pole targets businesses requiring pallet transport and logistics services, positioning itself as a reliable network with a strong emphasis on quality and environmental responsibility. The business model is collaborative, pooling expertise from multiple transporters to cover extensive geographic areas. The company demonstrates growth and stability with detailed operational statistics and a clear value proposition. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media presence but no explicit partner domains were identified. The website content and structure support their market positioning, though lack of privacy and cookie policies may impact trust in privacy-conscious markets.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic security posture with HTTPS and domain status protections but lacks DNSSEC and critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No incident response or security policy information is provided, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. Google Analytics is used, implying user tracking without visible consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Regularly update CMS and JavaScript libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla! CMS with a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and Google Fonts, hosted by OVH sas. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by meta tags and alternate language links. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The use of Google Analytics indicates standard data collection practices. No advanced frameworks or platforms beyond Joomla! and Bootstrap are detected. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
