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. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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 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';…

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

The institution operates in the education and research sector, providing engineering degrees, doctoral programs, and professional training. Its business model is public academic service with a focus on innovation and technology transfer. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a clear market position in the Toulouse region and strong partnerships with local universities and engineering schools. The presence of multiple social media channels and event promotions indicates active engagement with its community and stakeholders. The lack of WHOIS data is unusual but does not detract significantly from the institution's credibility given the official domain and content quality.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent tool with high privacy settings, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages were found, suggesting an opportunity to improve transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were observed in the HTML content. The use of third-party JavaScript libraries should be regularly audited to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for enhancement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or ensure domain registration information is publicly accessible.
  5. Maintain and monitor cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Ametys CMS, a Java-based open-source CMS, combined with popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Masonry for dynamic content presentation. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features like skip links. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS resources loaded in minimized form. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured content zones. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses Matomo analytics for user tracking with privacy considerations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and suitable for an educational institution, though performance optimization and security header implementation could be improved.
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.
