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

Invest in Nouvelle Aquitaine is a regional business support network in France, specializing in assisting companies with their implantation projects in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The organization offers personalized and free services including real estate search, administrative procedures, public funding, and networking with regional experts. The website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and integrates various plugins for enhanced functionality and user experience. Despite a professional design and good content quality, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, which impacts its security posture significantly. Additionally, there is no cookie consent mechanism or DMARC record, indicating partial privacy compliance. The presence of Google Analytics and Matomo Tag Manager shows moderate user tracking. Overall, the website serves its business purpose well but requires critical security improvements to enhance trust and compliance.

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

      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';…

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 company operates as an essential entity in the government sector, focusing on economic development and business implantation in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It targets businesses looking to establish or expand operations in the region, offering services across multiple key sectors such as aeronautics, agro-food, electronics, and sustainable textiles. The business model revolves around facilitating and accelerating implantation projects through expert support and partnerships, notably with ADI N-A. The website reflects a medium-sized organization with a strong regional presence and a comprehensive service offering. Its digital presence is supported by modern web technologies and active social media channels, enhancing its outreach and engagement.

Security posture

The current security posture is basic with significant gaps. The absence of a valid SSL certificate means data transmitted is not encrypted, exposing users to potential interception. Lack of HSTS and OCSP stapling further weakens HTTPS security. The missing DMARC record increases the risk of email spoofing. While no critical vulnerabilities or subdomain takeover risks are detected, the site does not implement advanced security headers or mechanisms. Forms use base64 encoding for data transmission but lack visible advanced security controls. Overall, the site is vulnerable to common web security risks and requires urgent improvements to meet modern security standards and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and install a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Add a DMARC record to the DNS to protect against email spoofing and phishing.
  4. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and disable outdated protocols.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users.
  6. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  7. Regularly audit and update plugins and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  8. Consider publishing a security policy and incident response contact information.
  9. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly state GDPR compliance and data retention policies.
  10. Improve performance metrics and optimize resource loading for faster user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with the Avada theme and uses several plugins including LayerSlider, Adimeo Annonces, and WP Logooos. It leverages jQuery and Font Awesome for UI components and Google Fonts for typography. The site is hosted on OVH with multiple A records and uses OVH's mail servers. Performance data is missing or zero, indicating potential measurement or optimization issues. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility and SEO practices, including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. However, the lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a critical technical deficiency. The site uses Matomo Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking, and Google Adwords for conversion tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a regional business site but requires security and performance enhancements.
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.
