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

The website www.lasalvetat31.fr serves as the official digital presence of the municipal government of La Salvetat Saint-Gilles, France. It provides residents and visitors with comprehensive local information, including news, administrative procedures, municipal services, cultural events, and social support resources. The site targets local citizens and stakeholders, positioning itself as a key communication channel for the municipality. The business model is typical of government entities, focusing on public service rather than commercial revenue. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, leveraging popular plugins such as Yoast SEO for search optimization and Matomo for privacy-conscious analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness, accessibility features, and SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with caching and lazy loading implemented via WP Rocket. Cookie consent is managed through Tarteaucitron, ensuring compliance with European privacy regulations. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs privacy-friendly analytics that do not set cookies by default. However, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of published privacy policy or terms of service pages represent areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which is unusual for an official municipal domain and slightly reduces trustworthiness. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is fully accessible. Overall, the website is a well-structured, professional municipal portal with a strong focus on user experience and privacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and resolving WHOIS data inconsistencies to improve 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

3 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 municipal website operates in the government sector, serving a small-sized local community in France. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offerings and clear communication channels, including social media integration and direct contact options. Revenue streams are non-commercial, focusing on public service delivery. The target customer segment includes residents, local businesses, and visitors seeking municipal information. Growth indicators include regular content updates and digital service expansions. The partnership ecosystem includes local government bodies and service providers, though no explicit partner domains were identified. The site reflects a mature digital presence for a small municipality with opportunities for further compliance and security enhancements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and privacy-respecting analytics are used, minimizing user tracking. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and user-friendly. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Compliance with GDPR is partially demonstrated through cookie consent but lacks formal documentation. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could impact rapid mitigation of security issues. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a municipal site but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data collection, usage, and user rights.
  2. Implement and publish terms of service and security policy documents to enhance transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and maintain a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization, Matomo for analytics, and WP Rocket for performance enhancements. The site uses jQuery and several JavaScript libraries for UI and cookie management. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and caching implemented. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, featuring accessibility settings for contrast, font, and spacing. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of some security headers and incomplete WHOIS data suggest areas for modernization and improved infrastructure transparency. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
