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

La Grande Motte's official municipal website serves as a comprehensive portal for residents and visitors, providing access to public services, event information, and administrative resources. The site is positioned as the authoritative source for local government information in the La Grande Motte area, France. It targets local citizens and tourists seeking municipal services and community updates. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern SEO and accessibility features, including multilingual support via Google Translate. The infrastructure is stable with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, appropriate security headers, and privacy-conscious analytics implementation. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained, with privacy protection on domain registration typical for government entities. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies, enhancing incident response visibility, and maintaining regular security audits to uphold 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.

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 website represents a small government entity focused on municipal services and community engagement. Its business model is non-commercial, centered on public service delivery and information dissemination. The site leverages partnerships with analytics and translation providers but maintains a clean external domain profile without commercial advertising or affiliate programs. The target audience includes local residents, businesses, and visitors. The site demonstrates consistent branding and content quality, supporting the municipality's reputation and operational transparency. Growth indicators include active content updates and accessibility enhancements. The partnership ecosystem is limited to essential service providers, reflecting a focused operational scope.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is good, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of Matomo analytics with disabled cookies indicates a privacy-aware approach. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. Incident response mechanisms are not publicly visible, which could delay mitigation in case of security events. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by privacy and cookie policies, but explicit certifications or frameworks are not documented. Recommendations include formalizing security policies, publishing incident response contacts, and implementing a security.txt file to enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file for responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear contact channels for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Maintain and improve accessibility and privacy compliance to strengthen user trust.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing PHP and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Leaflet for interactive maps. SEO is managed via the Rank Math plugin, and multilingual support is provided by Google Translate integration. The site loads stylesheets and scripts from its own domain and trusted external sources. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times. Accessibility features are implemented, including ARIA roles and accessibility settings. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for a municipal website, with no evident technical debt or deprecated technologies.
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.
