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

Jardin Botanique de Bordeaux is a public botanical garden institution located in Bordeaux, France, providing cultural, educational, and scientific services related to plant biodiversity and conservation. The website serves as an informational portal for visitors, researchers, and the general public, offering details on garden locations, events, exhibitions, and practical information. The institution is positioned as a local government-supported entity with a focus on public outreach and education. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 7 CMS with standard web technologies including jQuery and a cookie consent manager (Tarteaucitron). The site uses HTTPS and integrates AT Internet analytics for visitor tracking. While the site is functional and moderately optimized, there is room for improvement in mobile responsiveness, accessibility, and modern security headers. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and provides cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts suggests an opportunity to enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. Strategic improvements in security headers, CMS updates, and accessibility would further strengthen its posture and user experience.

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

10 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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 Jardin Botanique de Bordeaux operates as a government-supported cultural and scientific institution serving the Bordeaux region. Its market position is that of a local public entity focused on education, conservation, and cultural enrichment. The business model relies on public funding and visitor engagement through garden visits, educational programs, and exhibitions. The institution maintains partnerships with local government sites and public transport providers, enhancing accessibility and community integration. Growth indicators include active event programming and digital presence on social media platforms. The website supports these operations by providing clear information and facilitating visitor planning.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No critical security headers were detected, and the Drupal 7 CMS version suggests potential risks if not regularly updated. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a public informational site but would benefit from enhanced security controls and documentation to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade Drupal CMS to the latest supported version to address known vulnerabilities and improve platform security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and preparedness.
  4. Improve website accessibility compliance to better serve users with disabilities and meet legal requirements.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization to provide a better user experience across devices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 7 CMS, utilizing jQuery and custom JavaScript modules including Tarteaucitron for cookie management and AT Internet for analytics. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets hosted on its own domain, indicating self-hosted resources. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could be improved with modern optimization techniques. The site includes basic accessibility features such as skip links and font size controls but lacks advanced ARIA roles or landmarks. SEO is basic with meta tags and structured navigation but no JSON-LD or Open Graph metadata detected. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the registrar is SFR, a French telecom provider.
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.
